Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki returns to Hong Kong on December 6 at Hong Kong City Hall in Central, as part of LCSD’s Great Music 2026. His touring recital, World (of) Dance, is built around one simple idea: how composers in different places and periods turned dance into piano music.
The programme moves across Europe and Latin America, with pieces by Chopin, Schubert, Bartók, Piazzolla and others.
Internationally Acclaimed Classical Pianist Jan Lisiecki
Lisiecki has been performing internationally since his teens and now gives more than 100 concerts a year. He became a Deutsche Grammophon recording artist at 15 and, at 18, was the youngest-ever recipient of Gramophone’s Young Artist Award.
His recordings have also received honours including the JUNO Award, ECHO Klassik and Diapason d’Or.
One-Night Stop in Hong Kong on His World Tour
The Hong Kong recital on December 6 is part of Lisiecki’s touring World (of) Dance programme, which places well-known pieces beside music that appears less often in concert halls.
The first half travels through Czech, Spanish, Polish, German, Romanian and Argentine dances by Martinů, Falla, Szymanowski, Schubert, Bartók and Ginastera.
After the interval, the music becomes more familiar, with Chopin and Brahms waltzes, Piazzolla’s Libertango, Albéniz’s Tango and Falla’s Ritual Fire Dance. The evening ends with Chopin’s Polonaise in A-flat.
Before the concert, composer Daniel Lo will lead a free talk in Cantonese, “From Polonaise to Libertango: Rhythm Across Cultures”, at 6:45pm in Committee Room North of Hong Kong City Hall. The one-hour talk is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beyond this recital, LCSD’s flagship Great Music series brings world-renowned orchestras, conductors and soloists to Hong Kong every year. Stay tuned for Great Music 2027!
