This powerful program features the music of two leading composers, Beethoven and Ravel. Ravel's brilliant work, Piano Concerto in G, highlights the virtuosity of the soloist with elements of jazz that suggest the influence of George Gershwin.

Growing up in Sacramento, California, he studied with Linda Nakagawa, Natsuki Fukasawa, Sarah Chan, and Jon Nakamatsu. He has several recent competition wins, including the 202 PianoTexas Academy Concerto Competition, and he was named a 2021 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
