Angie Zhang Premiere Series
February 23, 2025 | 3:30pm
Indiana History Center

Equally at ease on modern and historical pianos, Angie Zhang, 28, spends her time as a soloist, chamber musician, educator and speaker. Her solo program highlights the rich diversity of classical piano repertoire, blending Mozart's graceful elegance, Mendelssohn's emotional depth, Cramer's technical refinement and Liszt's dynamic virtuosity into a captivating musical experience.

She will be joined by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra after intermission to perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9, a piece that captures the spirit of a 21-year-old composer on the brink of greatness.

Angie holds BM and MM degrees with honors from Juilliard and received a MM in Fortepiano Performance and DMA in Piano Performance from University of Michigan in May 2024. From her base in Los Angeles, she travels around the world to perform, and is excited to be reunited this season with prior collaborators Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and Dover Quartet.
