The program of this piano recital is based on the theme of various country’s ethnic customs, will perform the works from Spain, Norway, Russia, Taiwan and American. The composer were included Enrique Granados (1867-1916), Edvard Grieg( 1843-1907), Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), Tyzen Hsiao (1938-2015) and William Bolcom (1938-).
