Violinist-pianist performs

Anita Chen was hailed as a double-child prodigy for her ability to play both piano and violin. Submitted

It’s the third Del Norte-Curry Community Concert Association performance of the 2011–12 season, and will feature pieces by Beethoven, Grieg and Corelli on violin and pieces by Rachmaninoff and Liszt on piano.

Chen launched her career as a professional soloist at Carnegie Hall in 2002 at the age of 11, performing with the St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble.

In 2006, Chen made her recording debut on the Bel Air Music BAM label with Russia’s Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Dmitry Yablonsky, featuring E. Grieg’s Piano Concerto, and J. Conus’s Violin Concerto and Formosa Capriccio by Albert Markov.

In February 2009, Chen returned to Carnegie Hall and made her recital debut at Zankel Hall, performing the first half of the concert on piano and the second half on violin. The sell-out audience responded with a shouting and stamping ovation and floral tributes.

Born in the United States in July 1991 to Taiwanese parents who are both musicians, prodigiously gifted Chen began to study the piano at age 4 and, within a year, she added the violin. At age 7, she was accepted into the pre-college division at Juilliard School.
