Music on Madison: "Echoes Across Horizons" - Junwen Liang, piano

Returning to Music on Madison, pianist Junwen Liang presents Echoes Across Horizons: American Voices in Classical Piano, a journey through the remarkable range of American musical voices, from the lyricism of Amy Beach, Florence Price, and William Grant Still to beloved melodies from Broadway, film, and Gershwin reimagined for the concert piano. The program travels through the virtuosity of Earl Wild, the hypnotic sound world of Philip Glass, and concludes with Tan Dun’s dramatic The Banquet Sonata, bringing together musical traditions and influences that span cultures and generations.
