Jenny Q Chai, Piano
w/ music of Bach, Gibbons, Schumann, Debussy, Stockhausen, Stroppa, and Kurtag
1.21.14
An adventurous and prodigiously talented young pianist, Jenny Q Chai seeks to create “fairy tales for grown-ups” in her themed and multimedia concert performances. Ms. Chai’s unique programs include standard classical repertoire such as Schumann and Debussy to 20th and 21st century piano works, often by living composers, such as Marco Stroppa and Nils Vigeland, with whom she has close affiliations. Recently having made her Carnegie Hall debut at Zankel Hall, piano performing artist Jenny Q Chai was praised by the New York Times’ Anthony Tommasini for her “resourceful technique and sensitivity” as well as playing that is “admirable for its refinement and directness.” In addition to Carnegie Hall, Jenny has played at prestigious New York venues such as Le Poisson Rouge, Roulette, Symphony Space, Spectrum, the Stone and Chicago’s Dame Myra Hess Series. Chai has also played at the Performing Arts Center in Beijing as well as Shanghai Concert Hall. Recipient of the Yvar Mikhashoff Trust’s 2011 Pianist/Composer Commissioning Project, and first prize winner of the Keys to the Future Contemporary Solo Piano Festival, Chai was also recipient of the DAAD Arts and Performance award in 2010.
