Young pianist to return to give solo recitals

Wang Chao will make his China debut in September with solo piano recitals in Beijing and Shanghai.

The audiences will hear the 26-year-old pianist's interpretation of Hungarian composer Franz Liszt's masterpiece Annees de pelerinage (Years of Pilgrimage).

"I thought I might perform the work when I am older," says Wang, who is a Beijing native and now lives in Berlin. "But I want to perform it now because it tells the story of my own life as well."
