Euphoria Opening Concert - Ryan Wang

About

We begin our Euphoria Live Programme with **Ryan Wang**, an award-winning 18 year-old musician captivating audiences worldwide, opening our 20th Anniversary Season with his surprise programme of virtuoso solo piano specially imagined for the Steinway grand piano in our Concrete Concert Hall. Ryan Wang is a remarkable musician, his playing is otherworldly, capable of reaching from nostalgic memories of subtle bliss to full-blown mystical rapture. He began his musical training at the age of four, moving to the UK for a music scholarship aged 13. He is winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Award (2024) and the same year made history in Paris as the youngest-ever recipient of the prestigious Prix Cortot Award. We are delighted to have him return to Bold Tendencies after following last year’s Rachmaninoff ‘piano marathon’ where he played the First Concerto, written when the composer was just 18 years old.
