About This Programme

Described by the Dutch newspaper Trouw as "remarkable... emotionally advanced for his age", Wong Chi-yan's sensitive playing dives deep into the meaning of music and explores its infinite possibilities of expression.

Faith has inspired many exceptional works of art. Wong brings technical brilliance and expressive delicacy to a programme that explores spirituality in music, including works by two deeply devout believers, Liszt and Messiaen, together with Beethoven's Sonata in C which occupies a special place in Wong’s musical journey with its youthful exuberance and joyful radiance.

Born in Hong Kong, the 21-year-old Wong has given recitals and performed as a soloist with orchestras in Germany, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Ukraine and the UK.
