"My debut concert celebrates how music can be an act of homage. The pieces I have chosen are all brought together by a common thread, with each composer paying tribute to something or someone great, a gesture that I find to be deeply meaningful. Whether it be Beethoven's homage to Mozart, Ginastera's visceral exploration of the Argentine landscapes, or Brahms' reverence for Bach, I hope to give you a glimpse into what moved these great composers to write their remarkable and captivating music." – Benett Tsai
