Join pianist Jialiang Zhu in a her solo piano recital Dialogues to discover piano music written by an array of fantastic contemporary composers – David Jaeger, Kathryn Knowles, Anita Pari, Qiuyue Jin, Edward Enman – along with “Benediction de Dieu dans la Solitude” by Franz Liszt. Each piece o the program is a dialogue between music and another subject — such as poetry, language, mental health, and self-discovery.

Accompanied by the aromatic drinks from Haku Tea, a Toronto-based premium Taiwanese oolong tea shop, this afternoon guarantees to be a captivating and inspiring journey where guests will have meaningful dialogues and connections.

This recital is part of Jialiang’s self-produced Empowered by Friendship Concert Series. She is deeply grateful to the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Government, Ontario Arts Council, and the Canadian Music Centre for their generous support. Event photo is by Yang Sui.
