Canadian-born pianist Tony Siqi Yun, Gold Medalist at the First China International Music Competition (2019) and awarded the Rheingau Music Festival's 2023 Lotto-Förderpreis, is quickly becoming a sought-after soloist and recitalist, performing with the Cleveland Orchestra, Toronto Symphony, Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, and Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and collaborating frequently with Yannick Nezet-Seguin, among others. He makes his Washington Performing Arts Hayes Piano Series debut with a varied recital including Liszt's arrangement of Wagner's "Isolde's Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde, Schumann's Symphonic Études, Op. 13, Beethoven's beloved "Appassionata" Sonata, and Brahms's Theme with Variations in D minor, Op. 18b—a work transcribed for Clara Schumann.
