Canadian pianist Tony Siqi Yun tackles a program of masterworks for his Ravinia debut. Music by Brahms, Liszt, Busoni, and Schumann abound, with Beethoven’s “Appasionata” Sonata as the concert’s centerpiece.
The Canadian-born pianist Tony Siqi Yun, Gold Medalist at the First China International Music Competition (2019) and awarded the Rheingau Music Festival’s 2023 Lotto-Förderpreis, is quickly becoming a sought-after soloist and recitalist. At the age of 23, he has been hailed as a “poet of the keyboard” (Pianist Magazine), and The Philadelphia Inquirer noted his thrilling performance and “interpretive flashes that point to an emergent big personality: moments of grandness or deep expressivity.”
