Described as a groundbreaking artist, Hanzhi Wang redefines the possibilities of the accordion. With staggering virtuosity and a magnetic stage presence, Hanzhi is not just an extraordinary musician — she’s a passionate ambassador for her instrument, bringing its rich and nuanced sound to the forefront of classical music. This intimate house concert, hosted at the home of MAS Presents’ founder, offers a rare opportunity to experience her artistry up close, accompanied by wine, beer, light snacks, and the camaraderie of fellow music lovers.
Hanzhi Wang’s accolades speak for themselves. She holds the distinction of being the first accordionist ever to join the prestigious roster of Young Concert Artists in its 63-year history.
Her landmark achievements include making her Carnegie Hall debut, opening the Young Concert Artists Series at The Kennedy Center, and earning Musical America’s coveted “New Artist of the Month” title. Hanzhi’s pioneering solo album, On the Path to H.C. Andersen, marked the Naxos label’s first-ever accordion recording and was nominated for the Danish Radio P2 Prize in 2019. Her unparalleled artistry has also earned her top prizes at notable international competitions, including the Premio Internazionale Fisarmonica Castelfidardo in Italy.
As both a soloist and chamber musician, Hanzhi captivates audiences worldwide. She has appeared on stage at UC Santa Barbara, Stanford Live, Bravo! Vail, and Tanglewood, and has collaborated with luminaries like mandolinist Avi Avital and saxophonist Steven Banks. With a repertoire that spans classical masterworks to contemporary compositions — many written and dedicated specifically to her — Hanzhi brings her instrument to life in ways that are both thrilling and deeply moving. Upcoming highlights include performances with the New York Philharmonic, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and at London’s Wigmore Hall, showcasing her dedication to expanding the boundaries of her craft.
