In this Episode, Iason and Harrison Lee, open up about music and piano on an IG live, just a few weeks ago. A very informative and insightful conversation between two composers that will inspire you 100%. Enjoy!

In this episode, Iason and mr. Tian Jiang sat down and talked about life in quarantine, the habits of a virtuoso, focus secrets, unique stories from mr. Tian's long career. Compositional talk, future plans, highlights from the Carnegie Hall are some of the incredibly interesting topics that were discussed during this energetic meeting between those two musicians.

The concept of this podcast is to bring to the surface, all the authentic and interesting stories from each musicians special journey. After all, what matters is the journey and the memories that were created during this time.

Except from the interview part, you will find two unique pre-recorded piano performances! Tian Jiang plays Beethoven's full Piano Sonata Op.10 No. 3 First Movement and Rachmaninoff's Moment Musical No.4.

Short Biography of Tian Jiang.

Since his acclaimed debut at Carnegie Hall in 1989, Tian Jiang has become recognized as one of the first virtuoso pianists to emerge from the People’s Republic of China after the stark years of the Cultural Revolution. Praised for his "shining, crisp, energetic and colorfully illuminated playing” by The New York Times, a subsequent profile on CBS’s “Sunday Morning” with Charles Kuralt further celebrated the sweet irony of this remarkable artist’s rich, imaginative interpretations: that this music he had been forbidden to hear, let alone play as a child, had become his life.

Tian first came to international attention when he appeared with Vladimir Ashkenazy in a BBC film about his historic visit to China in 1980. In 1981, Tian was one of the five young musicians chosen by Isaac Stern to come to the US and take part in the first cultural exchange program between China and the United States. Consequently Tian studied at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Later he continued at the Manhattan School of Music and The Juilliard School.

In 1995, Tian joined the famed CAMI (Columbia Artists Management Inc.) roster as the first mainland Chinese concert pianist. When he substituted for Arcadi Volodos at a Gala Concert in 1998, playing an all Mozart’s program, Tian became an overnight success and the invitations started to pour in. Daniel Cariaga in The Los Angeles Times characterized his playing as ''a deeply persuasive Mozartean'' saying that “Tian Jiang achieved an exquisite performance who delivers the full spectrum of the composer’s virtues - wit, pathos, brilliance, and serenity in this buoyant performance.”

Captivating audiences from North America to South Africa and from Europe to the Far East, Tian has been enthusiastically received in concerto appearances with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Mozart Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Orchestra of St. Luke's, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. Tian is proud to be the first Chinese pianist to have toured his homeland with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on its historic visit to China in 2000 and he has collaborated with conductors such as Daniele Gatti, Zubin Mehta, Ettore Stratta and Gerald Schwartz.

As a recording artist, Tian has 12 albums to his credit, including his original composition “Shanghai Dream” and the two latest CDs “Tian Jiang Live at Carnegie Hall”.

Growing up in a musical family on the island of Crete, Greece, Erini played the piano and cello and performed with her hometown’s string orchestra and choir. As a descendant of Asia Minor-Greek refugees, Erini’s mother introduced her to the Asia Minor-Greek musical tradition which ignited Erini’s passion for singing. As a teenager Erini immersed herself into pop and rock which led her to England to study Contemporary Vocals at Bimm at age 18. Being cast as the only vocalist of the show “Kurios” by Cirque Du Soleil in 2014, Erini toured for 3 years, performing a total of 1074 shows. Going on to complete a Master at the Berklee College of Music paved new paths of experimentation for Erini as she redefined the constraints of genre and birthed a new sound combining Greek traditional music with contrasting genres such as, jazz, pop and classical music. Erini has had the opportunity to showcase her musical heritage at Carnegie Hall and she was an Official Selection Showcase artist at WOMEX 2023. She has sung in Grammy-nominated albums and has collaborated with artists such as Danilo Perez, Terri Lyne Carrington, Nella, Jorge Glem and Daniel Hope. Erini is also a professor at the Berklee College of Music and presents workshops and lectures of Greek traditional music in universities including Harvard, Princeton, Tufts amongst others. In recognition of her efforts to preserve Asia-Minor Greek culture, Erini has been awarded the Greek America Foundation’s 40 under 40 Award and the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Traditional Arts Fellowship. Erini's debut album is scheduled to be released in June 2024 with Ropeadope and Minos EMI (A Universal Music Group Company).
