In the 25 years since his graduation, pianist Meng-Chieh Liu has earned a place among the most respected musicians of his generation. Throughout that time he has continuously been a vital presence at Curtis as a performer, teacher, and mentor. In the first of three diverse programs showcasing Liu’s talent and pedagogy, he is joined by students, alumni, and faculty in music for multiple pianos, including a rarely heard version of Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring for four pianos and percussion instruments.
