Pianist Monic Chen will perform contemporary and classical works of the 20th century, in collaboration with a musical trio who shares the same passion, showcasing the power of rising talent.
Born and raised in Macao, Chen also engages in improvisation and composition, mastering a diversity of genres, from classical, avantgarde and pop, to free jazz and other rhythms.
