Ames Town & Gown: Zhenni Li-Cohen, solo piano

Zhenni Li-Cohen has been hailed as “a magnetic pianist — with fire and poetry” (author/music critic David Dubal), “an artist … who fascinates even as she provokes”  (Gramophone Magazine), and “a thrillingly good pianist” (The New Yorker).

Ms. Li-Cohen dazzled a Town & Gown audience when she appeared with the Merz Trio several years ago. Her solo recital will bring riches from different cultures, reflecting her amazing life story, broad interests, and talents.
