This is a reminder that, due to a scheduling conflict, NLS will not have their That All May eRead program tonight, Tuesday, March 25. The next That All May eRead will occur in April.
Instead they encourage you to attend the NLS Music Notes program provided by their Music Section tonight at 7:00 pm via Zoom.
NLS will be joined by pianist, composer, and NLS Music Section patron Hwaen Ch’uqi. They will discuss Mr. Ch’uqi’s journey to becoming a professional musician, his use of braille music, and his own compositions and inspiration.
An Inca Indian and a native of Perú, pianist Hwaen Ch’uqi is a world-renowned soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. He has performed throughout the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Russia, Taiwan, Japan, and Peru at such venues as Seiji Ozawa Hall, Alice Tully Hall, the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory, and Philharmonic Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia. He is on the roster of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chamber Music Society and is co-founder of Duo Q’inti with pianist Emi Okumura and Duo Perussia with violinist Nadya Meykson.
Mr. Ch’uqi holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in piano performance from the Eastman School of Music, where he studied under Natalya Antonova. He quickly distinguished himself as one of the rare pianists to be invited three times as a fellow to the prestigious Tanglewood Music Center, where he studied with such luminaries as Gilbert Kalish and Leon Fleisher. He was a semifinalist at the Second Sviatoslav Richter International Piano Competition in Moscow and was awarded the Special Prize.
