Internationally acclaimed pianist Yundi was propelled onto the international stage when he won first prize at the XIV Chopin International Piano Competition at the age of 18, becoming the youngest and first Chinese winner in the history of the renowned competition.
Since then, he has been regarded as a international piano star, also a leading exponent of Chopin’s music. In the autumn of 2014, the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, as the organizer of The International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition, invited Yundi to be one of the jury of The 17th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in 2015, who is also the youngest juror of the competition. In recognition of his contribution to Polish culture, the Government of Poland presented a Gold Medal for Merit to Culture “Gloria Artist” to Yundi in 2010.
The New York Times has praised his performances: “the brilliant young Chinese pianist has proved a technically astounding pianist who is by turns elegant and rambunctious, coolly expressive and white-hot.”
Important Note from the Organizers (3/27/20) – Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson’s shows at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts have been rescheduled. The May 11, 2020 show has been rescheduled to May 24, 2021, and the May 12, 2020 show has been rescheduled to May 25, 2021. There is nothing you need to do as your tickets will be valid for the new date. Thank you for understanding.
The highly popular and influential science advocate and author Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson brings two nights with two different topics to the Center for the Performing Arts.
On Monday, May 11th (tickets), Tyson presents “An Astrophysicist Goes to the Movies.” From Star Wars to Frozen to The Martian, this is an entertaining and enlightening review of all the science that popular movies got wrong, combined with some of the stuff they got right. Tyson will incorporate the latest films as well as some classics, sharing the science behind in them at all.
On Tuesday, May 12th (tickets), Tyson presents “The Cosmic Perspective.” There is no view of the world as emotionally potent as the one granted by a cosmic perspective. It’s one that sees Earth as a planet in a vast, empty universe. It profoundly influences what people think and feels about science, culture, politics, and life itself.
Tyson has managed to capture audiences with his sometimes humorous and always informative insights into modern physics. A regular guest on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and host of his own enduring radio show StarTalk, Tyson continually inspires generations old and new to take an interest in the universe around them.
