Kevin Chen in Concert

The youngest musician ever to win the prestigious Franz Liszt International Piano Competition

This month, the Calgary Philharmonic  celebrates youth and of the spirit of collaboration, beginning with Kevin Chen in Concert (June 3 & 4). The 17-year-old Calgary pianist – a MacLachlan/Ridge Emerging Artist – is the youngest musician ever to win the prestigious Franz Liszt International Piano Competition. Chen takes centre stage to perform Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3. The familiar, powerful work is considered one of the greatest of all concertos. This thrilling emotional journey is paired with Antonín Dvořák’s dramatic Symphony No. 7. Sometimes called the ‘Tragic’ Symphony, this hidden gem displays great expressivity and passion. Music Director Rune Bergmann leads the Calgary Philharmonic.
