Award winning pianist, Xiayin (Sha-een) Wang, is coming to Hawai’i. After a triumphant year of concerts and recordings on the mainland, this will be Ms. Wang’s first appearance in Honolulu. For her recent Carnegie Hall concert, the New York Times hailed her as having “an estimable grasp of pianistic color” and The Washington Post called Ms. Wang “a paragon of virtuosity.” This summer, her Naxos CD garnered rave reviews and made a stunning debut on the Billboard Classical Album Chart. An artist with a winning combination of technical brilliance, fine musicianship, and personal verve, the beautiful Xiayin Wang will take you on a colorful, musical journey with her dazzling and insightful interpretations of works by Haydn, Chopin, Scriabin, Ravel and Gershwin.

You can catch her at UH Manoa’s Orvis Auditorium on Monday, November 16, 2009 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $12 general admission, $8 for students and seniors.
