Bobby Chen Piano Recital
Bobby Chen, born in Sandakan, Malaysia, burst on the scene in 1996 with a sensational season of concerts, which included a British tour with Lord Menuhin in a performance of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto and a recital at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the South Bank Prokofiev Festival.
 

Since then, regular appearances in mainstream London and British venues such as Bridgewater Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, Purcell Room and the Wigmore Hall as well as venues in China, Malaysia, Singapore and Europe have contributed to Chen’s remarkably fast rise as a household name in Britain and the Far East.
