KEVIN CHEN

Artist’s bio

We begin our season with a concert by Canada’s newest piano superstar.

Born in Calgary, Kevin has, in spite of his youthfulness, already triumphed in a string of major piano competitions, including 1st prize at the Liszt Competition in Budapest, 1st prize at the Mozart Competition in Lugano, 1st prize at the Hilton Head Competition, and 1st prize at the 17th Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition.

In the summer of 2023, Kevin made his debut in Poland, performing at the prestigious Duszniki Festival as well as at the Chopin and His Europe Festival. His appearances at both festivals caused a major stir among music lovers, who declared that they had never heard piano playing of such genius.

Kevin has also appeared as concerto soloist with the Calgary and Edmonton symphony orchestras, and with the Minneapolis Orchestra. This multi-talented young artist is also an avid composer, with over 100 compositions to his credit, including symphonies and a piano concerto.

Do not miss this opportunity to experience the music-making of a young artist who is destined to write a major chapter in the annals of great performers.
