Chamber Music in the Atrium with Piano Cleveland: Zhu Wang

The Cleveland Museum of Art has partnered with Piano Cleveland to present this spring’s Chamber Music in the Atrium lunchtime concert series, which occurs on March 4, April 15, and May 13 at 12:00 p.m. Each performer presents a captivating solo piano performance and provides background on the works performed.

Join world-class pianist and 2024 Cleveland International Piano Competition semifinalist Zhu Wang as he plays a free concert in the Ames Family Atrium. 

Praised by The New York Times as “especially impressive” and “a thoughtful, sensitive performer” who “balanced lyrical warmth and crisp clarity,” Zhu won first prize at the 2024 New Orleans International Piano Competition before wowing audiences with his 2024 CIPC performances. His collaborative 2021 album with Randall Goosby, Roots, is a WCLV favorite. 

Since winning Young Concert Artists’ (YCA) Susan Wadsworth International Auditions in 2020, Zhu has been represented by YCA. He is currently pursuing his master of music degree at the Juilliard School, under the tutelage of Cleveland favorite Emanuel Ax.
