About

Joel Fan is a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble and a native New Yorker. Acclaimed as “superb” (The Boston Globe), “extraordinary” (The Village Voice), and “a versatile and sensitive pianist” (The Washington Post), Joel Fan combines astounding virtuosity with a rare gift for lyricism.

This, his debut solo album, presents a series of brilliantly crafted piano works that traverse different world musics - from Turkish Aksak rhythms and Arabian Maqam to Peking Opera of China - and juxtaposes them with works in the Western piano canon.

Just as the piano sound world of Prokofiev, Schumann and Liszt may evoke the instruments of the modern orchestra, the music from foreign lands calls forth instruments such as the Chinese pipa and Persian santour.

This singular program is sure to stretch the ears.
