Canadian virtuoso pianist Tony Yike Yang will present an intriguing program of classical and contemporary selections at Koerner Hall on January 23.
Not only is Tony an outstanding keyboard professional, but he is also a unique character who uses classical music to discover meaning rather than pursue a career. He is also a noble and generous humanitarian.
As a featured artist of Looking at the Stars, he has generously shared his talent with the incarcerated in Lithuania and the US.

Judges praised this feature on a classical music concert as “astute and full of care.” “It not only contained the element of the concert,” one judge wrote, “but another thread was the character who is narrating the feature — his voice, his insights, and his ability to connect the two threads of this piece… So much catharsis happened in this piece, both for the author and for the performers.”
