Han and Kang Duo Piano Recital at UW March 28

“An Evening of Exquisite Piano Mastery,” performed by the Han-Kang Duo, is part of the University of Wyoming Department of Music’s Faculty Recital Series at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 28, in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts concert hall.

Featuring pianists Jiwon Han and Soyeon Kang, the free public recital is a thoughtfully curated program, spanning works from the Impressionist era to modern Latin American repertoire. The recital will feature a dialogue between tradition and innovation, lyricism and virtuosity.

Han, a UW Department of Music collaborative pianist, has captivated audiences worldwide with his artistry, performing in major venues across Asia, Europe and the U.S. A laureate of numerous prestigious competitions, he is recognized not only for his technical command, but also for his depth of musical interpretation. In addition to his solo and chamber work, Han is an avid researcher, with particular interest in the music of historically underrepresented composers.

Kang, an accomplished pianist and educator, has earned accolades in international competitions and has performed extensively in East Asia and North America, including a debut at Carnegie Hall. Her musical expertise extends beyond the piano, with studies in harpsichord and organ. A dedicated scholar, she has contributed to musicological research while continuing to shape the next generation of musicians through her teaching and mentorship.

Together, Han and Kang will engage listeners in a dialogue between the past and present, structure and spontaneity.
