Lunchtime concert – Quang Hong Luu, solo piano
September 19 at 12:15 pm - 1:00 pm
The program starts with Franz Liszt’s Funérailles, a dramatic work that captures the revolutionary spirit of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. It is followed by Schumann’s Scenes from Childhood, op. 15, a collection of miniature works that expresses the more intimate and delicate charm of the piano repertoire. The final work is the monumental f-minor Sonata by Brahms, a grand symphonic-scale work that mixes passion with nobility.
Luu has won numerous prizes at competitions in Italy, Germany and Japan and has performed with numerous orchestras, including the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra of England, the Wuhan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, and the Metropolitan Orchestra of Australia. He has given recitals in Australia, Vietnam, Japan, China, Malaysia, the USA and France.
He will soon release a CD of Liszt’s 12 Transcendental Studies under the Rattle recording label. Quang is now completing a Doctor of Musical Arts at
the New Zealand School of Music in New Zealand under the guidance of Dr Jian Liu.
