🎹 Wednesday Noon Hours: Tony Chen Lin, piano 🎹

Join us on Wednesday, October 7 at the Roy Barnett Recital Hall for a lunchtime recital with Chinese-New Zealand pianist Tony Chen Lin.

His program draws on a scene in E. T. A. Hoffmann's Kreisleriana, in which the eccentric genius Johannes Kreisler is coaxed into playing Bach's Goldberg Variations and ends up improvising. From that premise, Lin presents selections from the Goldberg Variations alongside Schumann's Kreisleriana, Op. 16.

Lin has performed throughout New Zealand and Europe, and his debut album DIGRESSIONS topped New Zealand's Classical Charts.
