Winner of the 2026 Cecilia Concerts Developing Musician Award, Halifax pianist Alex Yang brings extraordinary poise, depth, and command to a demanding and wide-ranging solo program. Still only 17, Alex has already earned national and international attention for playing marked by clarity, sensitivity, and strong musical insight. His program brings together the architecture and brilliance of J.S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in D Major from "The Well-Tempered Clavier," Book II, the emotional range and shifting character of Chopin’s complete 24 Preludes, Op. 28, the dramatic force and spiritual depth of Beethoven’s Sonata in C Minor, Op. 111, and the dazzling virtuosity and colour of Liszt’s Rhapsodie Espagnole. Alex studies at the Juilliard Pre-College and has already earned major recognition on both sides of the border, including a full fellowship to the Aspen Music Festival and School, first prize in the Juilliard Pre-College Concerto Competition, and selection as the 2026 Debut Atlantic Award for Musical Excellence for a second consecutive year. This choose-what-you-pay concert offers Halifax audiences the chance to hear one of Canada’s most exciting young pianists at a remarkable moment in his artistic development.
