From Then and Now by Junwen Liang

Galloway, N.J. – Junwen Liang, a pianist from Nanning, China, who started playing at only age 9, will be on the main stage of Stockton University’s Campus Center Theatre at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Liang debuted his talent at 13 and has since performed at venues like the Cohen Family Studio Theater, Robert J. Werner Recital Hall in Cincinnati, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Academy of Music at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia.

His recital program features Maurice Ravel’s elegant Sonatine, Catherine Likhuta’s contemporary Rondo for Piano and Claude Debussy’s evocative Images, Book 2. The afternoon continues with Wanghua Chu’s Jasmine Flower Fantasia, Frederic Chopin’s dramatic Ballade No. 4, Philip Glass’s Etude No. 6 and Franz Liszt’s virtuosic Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12.
