Haochen Zhang Piano Recital

Two crown jewels of the chamber music repertoire— Ravel’s hypnotic Piano Trio and Brahms’s grand Piano Quartet in A Major—share a program with Elizabeth Ogonek’s Lightenings, a stunning and complementary piece that the Festival commissioned and premiered in 2016. Pianist Ran Dank, whom The Washington Post praised for playing with “explosive force and triumphant exultation,” is featured in the Ravel and Ogonek, and Haochen Zhang, hailed for his “preternatural virtuosity” by The Boston Music Intelligencer, joins violinist Paul Huang, violist Toby Appel, and cellist Peter Stumpf for the Brahms.
