Protégé Recital Series: Zitong Wang

Zitong Wang, the 2023 Summer Festival Protégé Project Pianist, is now a sought-after solo pianist globally. She has emerged as one of the most compelling voices of her generation, captivating audiences with her fiery bravura and poignant sensitivity. She has performed with major orchestras and as a chamber musician across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. In 2025, she won the Bronze Medal at the prestigious International Chopin Piano Competition, as well as the Krystian Zimerman Award for Best Performance of a Sonata. CMNW audiences raved about her 2023 festival performances, and now, more than three years later, Portland welcomes Zitong back for an intimate, self-curated concert of Chopin, Robert Schumann, and Liszt. This is a must-go experience in this intimate 100-seat venue.

The Protégé Recital Series is sponsored by Peter and Ann van Bever.
