The 24th Singapore International Piano Festival presents Fantasies & Memories, celebrating the vast creative resources of the great composers for the piano, whether bringing whimsy and imagination to the seemingly free-form fantasy, or recasting old forms and existing works into something different, or documenting highly-personal memories, impressions and experiences. A nostalgic, emotional and uplifting musical journey made all the richer with illuminating insights from four internationally-renowned virtuoso pianists!
Wong Chiyan has been astonishing audiences with the sincerity and sheer authority of his playing. He is a broad and thoughtful musician with a special interest in the music of Franz Liszt and Ferruccio Busoni. He has won several awards including being the the sole recipient of the Bernard van Zuiden Music Fund of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (2007) and has won First Prize at the Jaques Samuel Pianos Intercollegiate Piano Competition (2011).
