Meet the Quarterfinalists: George Fu performs works centred on J.S. Bach

Welcome back to Honens @ Home.


Today we are pleased to feature 2022 Quarterfinalist George Fu.
George, a Chinese-American pianist and composer, earned a
Bachelor of Arts in Economics at Harvard University before
beginning music studies at the Curtis Institute and the Royal
Academy.  


In this performance, with two works inspired by J.S. Bach, you
will experience George's talents as both a pianist and
composer—Rachmaninov's transcription of the Gavotte from Violin
Partita No. 3 followed by George's own reimagined transcription,
Transformation, based on the Gigue from Violin Partita No.
2.
