First of all, I love playing the piano. I think
the love for the instrument and music is definitely
the foundation for all musicians. I grew up in
that environment where music is part of our lives.
So I think from very early on, music is so essential
in my life that I don't feel like it is something
different from the life itself. It is part of
life. Join the new episode as Grammy -nominated
pianist Han Chen shares the story behind Infinite
Staircase, his journey from Juilliard, and his
passion for contemporary music. I love hearing
music that I don't know. And that became something
really driving me when I started to study music
professionally, to discover new things that I've
never heard of before. For me, I like to think
that I'm giving my audience an emotional right.
So we are going through all different distances.
emotions, and then we arrive at the final destination,
and I want you to have that when you go home.
The Infinite Staircase, Han Chen on Vision, Curiosity,
and Building Beyond the Repertoire, premieres
tonight at 8 p .m. Eastern Time on the Pianopod.
See you soon.
