CANCELED: Ya-Fei Chuang

A message from Salon Piano Series: We are sad to announce that Ya-Fei Chuang has sustained an injury that will prevent her from performing for us tomorrow evening and teaching a masterclass on Sunday. It is our intent to reschedule her as soon as her health and schedule permits.

In the meantime, we are very fortunate that James Giles is able to step in and perform for us, and we are excited about the program and repertoire he has shaped for us.

We apologize for this last-minute change, but are excited to introduce James Giles to our SPS audience, and look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 7:30.

press release: Salon Piano Series is pleased to introduce our salon audience to Ya-Fei Chuang, whose performances at international festivals and concert halls are highly acclaimed. She promises a program featuring the music of Maurice Ravel. Tickets are $50 at the door or $45 in advance.
