Join concert pianist Mia Huang in an afternoon of colourful musical tales from Russia and China.

Explore the Russian psyche through arrangements of Russian classics by world's leading pianist-composer Vyacheslav Gryaznov, the Romanticism of Tchaikovsky and Medtner, and the war-driven, witty worlds of Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Then, be transported to the mysterious scenic beauty of China by Tan Dun's Eight Memories in Watercolour, followed by arrangements by Wang Jianzhong including Three Stanzas on the Plum Blossom, providing a taste of the unique charm of classical Chinese literature.

Mia commenced her piano studies at the age of 4 and graduated from Bachelor of Music (piano performance) at the ANU School of Music ANU in 2019. She was a multiple awards recipient during the course of her studies, and has performed at various Australian and international venues. She is an active performer in solo and chamber music, and recently collaborated in Mozart's Piano Concerto K.453 with members of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra and ANU School of Music. In 2019, Mia participated in the Moscow Conservatory International Summer School in Russia and was invited to perform at the Rachmaninoff Hall, Moscow. The process of digging deep into a piece of music gives her great joy, and she longs to share this joy with others.
