Music Friends is pleased to welcome back distinguished pianist Libby Yu (http://www.libbyyu.com/), in a special partnership with Loewen Piano House that will give our audiences a chance to hear Libby on a spectacular Bösendorfer concert grand (built in Vienna) at their Bösendorfer Hall in Richmond. Libby will be presenting an all-new program featuring: – Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue – three of Chopin’s most substantial masterworks: the Barcarolle, the Fantasie in F Minor, and the Polonaise in F-sharp Minor – Book I of Brahms’ monumental Paganini Variations. In the spirit of giving opportunities to the next generation of musicians, we are excited to tell you that Libby will also give the floor briefly to two of her brightest young students, Austin Ng (junior winner in the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra’s Clef Concerto Competition) and Chuck Xie (first place in the prestigious Pacific Youth Piano Festival) prior to her performance. The piano and the catering will be generously provided by Loewen Piano House.
