Qi Kong, Talented Young Pianist from China

A gifted young artist from China, pianist Qi Kong, will be giving a free concert in the sanctuary of the First Unitarian church on Sunday, February 7, 2010, at 12 noon, playing works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Stravinsky. This 16-yr-old virtuoso was first prize winner of the 2009 Bösendorfer and Schimmel International Piano Competitions (junior division) after winning several competitions in his native China. He studies with Ms. Wha Kyn Byun and Mr. Russell Sherman at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School and attends Walnut Hill School in Natick. Qi Kong was brought to our attention by Sally Jiang, a member of our choir. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear this extraordinarily talented young classical musician.
