Pianist

As his “story goes,” Longy has now figured in nearly half of Wayman Chin’s life — this fall marks his thirtieth year on the faculty. He comments, “while time brings with it the inevitability of change, it also powers the music that stuffs our experience. Does love generate music or does music generate love? But, ultimately, does it really matter so long as we are blessed with both?”

Longy School of Music of Bard College

The act of wandering is deeply personal and essential to who we are. Throughout our lives, we chart courses that take us on journeys large and small, intended and unintended. We do this often without knowing—following the twists, turns, and detours that ultimately comprise our human experience.

Tyler Reece and Wayman Chin | Whither must I wander?

Making music in a world troubled with war, pandemic, and hardship asserts the promise of a new beginning. Chin’s program, which includes Bach, Mozart, Schubert, and Schumann, departs from the front-and-center performance model. Chin instead proposes a way of interacting with the musical space that allows the audience’s imagination to chart its own path through the repertoire.
