Rising American violinist Karisa Chiu — Cedille Records’ 2021 Emerging Artist Competition Finalist — and renowned Chinese pianist Zhu Wang unite for Chiu’s debut album, HOME. Influenced by her Chicago upbringing, pandemic discoveries, and Korean and Chinese family roots, the recording reflects the various interpretations of “home” in the 25-year-old violinist’s life. “This album is not only a story of what home means to me, but an invitation for you to reflect on the things in your life that define home,” says Chiu. Featured works include Sibelius’s Five Pieces, Op. 81; Augusta Read Thomas’s Incantation, and violin sonatas by Debussy and Fauré.
