Acclaimed Chinese pianist Warren Lee will present a solo piano recital early next month at Carnegie Hall, New York City, celebrating the artistry and 100th anniversary of the U.S. legendary composer Leonard Bernstein's birthday.
The performance, scheduled for 8 p.m. April 2 at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall, will feature a selection of Bernstein's Anniversaries with readings of personal letters of the maestro by the Hong Kong-born pianist, etc.
The event is part of the Artist Series staged by Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY), a music entertainment production company with headquarters in New York.
