Tempo Rubato: Sean Kim and Luke Zhang – Restless Forms

Restless Forms is two mini piano recitals by Luke Zhang and Sean Kim.

The program reflects their shared journey through Conservatorium training and the
transition beyond it, where musical structure and personal direction feel less fixed.

Each work explores form in different ways, from clarity and balance to fragmentation
and transformation, mirroring a period of uncertainty and change in these two pianists’ artistic lives.

Works by J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Berg, Ravel, George Benjamin, Chopin, Schubert.
