UW-Superior University Recital Series to feature pianists Hector Landa, Chan Kiat Lim

TYPE


The University of Wisconsin-Superior Music Department will feature pianists Hector Landa and Chan Kiat Lim on Tuesday, November 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Webb Recital Hall as part of its University Recital Series.

The Coordinator of Keyboard Studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lim has performed solo and chamber recitals in Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania, Malaysia and throughout the United States, including solo performances at Music at Penn Alps Concert Series in Maryland and a return to Steinway Hall, New York City, in December 2011. He was the Convention Artist at the West Virginia Music Teachers Association (WVMTA) State Convention, where he performed the Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra with the West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra and has appeared as soloist with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Symphony Orchestra performing Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. Most recently, Lim performed the Concerto for Piano and Percussion Orchestra by American composer David Gillingham.

Lim’s interest and research in twentieth-century music – particularly by American composers – and piano pedagogy have resulted in invitations to give presentations and masterclasses at regional and national levels.

The recital will include a blend of solo repertoire performed by Lim and four-hand music in collaboration with Landa performing the compositions of Maurice Ravel, Robert Muczynski, Sergei Rachmaninoff and UW-Superior graduate David Packa.

Tickets are $15 and are available at the door. Webb Recital Hall is in the Holden Fine and Applied Arts Center, 1805 Catlin Ave.
