Recital: Hongzhen Wang '21 MM, Piano
NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.

Since the pandemic began, it has been a year full of difficulties, loneliness, and unpeacefulness in our life. At this moment, we are facing an unprecedented challenge which does not allow us to gather together, to celebrate this special event with our families, teachers, and friends in the concert hall.
Even though we are still under these impacts, we can all experience live music via other forms. I sincerely appreciate all who watch my live-streaming recital and hope you enjoy the music today.
Thank you to all my family members,Yishan, and friends who have supported and cared about me all the time during this particular year.
The last and the most important person is my mentor, Mr. Brubaker.
Thank you very much for always helping and encouraging me in these years. Your tireless teaching motivates me to think further and your guidance inspires me to be a better musician; words cannot express how grateful I am to be your student!
