Liu Lights up Hahn Hall

Pianist Bruce Liu, 27, showed his very obvious talent in a 90-minute concert at the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn Hall, part of the popular UCSB Arts & Lectures program, with works by Chopin, Kapustin, Rameau, and Prokofiev.

Born in Paris and brought up in Montreal, Canada, Liu was the first prize winner of the 18th Chopin piano competition in Warsaw, Poland, in 2021.

His current season includes international tours with the Warsaw Philharmonic, and debuts with the New York Philharmonic, the Danish National Symphony, and the Singapore Symphony.
