Created in 1996 as part of my work in the Advanced Music Performance program at MIT, this program represents my first foray into bi-cultural programming. The concert puts together Medtner's romantic fairy tales and selections from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet with traditional Chinese music transcribed for piano by Li Yinghai and Wang Jianzhong, culminating in a Chinese concert etude by Russian emigre Alexander Tcherepnin.
