Jian Liu, Internationally celebrated pianist, and winner of the Best Classical Artist at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, has created a programme that surveys the different ways composers of New Zealand and Chinese heritage paint their worlds in sound.
The journey begins with landscapes featuring Douglas Lilburn's From the Port Hills and Huang Hu Wei’s evocative Pictures from Bashu, while Tan Dun’s Eight Memories in Watercolour and Salina Fisher’s Three Short Pieces capture nature’s fleeting beauty in shimmering sound.
