Sylvia Jiang 'Home'

Chamber Music Rotorua is thrilled to present emerging pianist Sylvia Jiang in partnership with Chamber Music New Zealand live in Rotorua as part of her debut national tour as a soloist.

This seven-centre national tour features a rich and challenging solo piano programme inspired by the idea of ‘home’ – both in a broad sense and through the artist’s personal lens on the feeling of belonging. Jiang’s exceptional talent as a performer shines through her interpretations of works by New Zealand composers, American music reminiscent of her time in New York City, and compositions reflecting her family’s Chinese heritage. Chopin and Prokofiev sonatas complete the promising concert pianist’s impressive repertoire.

New Zealand born Sylvia Jiang is a Juilliard graduate and holds an Artist Diploma from the Peabody Institute. Her performances have been featured on BBC News, ABC Australia, and RNZ Concert, amongst others, and she has won numerous prizes at prestigious competitions including the Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition.
