A Gold Medal Pianist
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT the regular musical series was over, and just before Spoleto begins, the College of Charleston is hosting another superb piano performance this Saturday night. And admission is free.
But don’t let that fool you, because once again you’re in for a treat. A gold medal treat.
Hsing-Chwen Hsin is one of the most distinguished young pianists from Asia, as well as a winner of the prestigious Chappell Gold Medal from the Royal College of Music in London.
At age 13, after early musical training in Taiwan, she moved to England to attend the Yehudi Menuhin School and later the Royal College of Music. Hsing-Chwen now teaches at the Institute of Music at National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan where she chairs the graduate performance program, and where she founded the ChiaoTa Chamber Ensemble.
Here’s what she’ll play this Saturday night:
• Ballade No. 2, Op. 38 • Frederik Chopin
• Goyescas, Book I • E. Granados
• Kreisleriana, Op.16 • Robert Schumann
SAT May 22 • 8:00 PM
In the Great Room, north end of the second floor of the Cato Center for the Arts
(at the corner of Calhoun and St. Philip Street)
