Pianist Sun Yutong held a recital at the Beijing Concert Hall on Monday, as part of the concert hall's classical music series this year.

The recital was themed on Pictures at an Exhibition, a suite of 10 piano pieces by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky. Sun also presented two works by Chopin — Piano Sonata No 2 and Fantasy in F Minor.

This concert is the 27-year-old's first appearance in Beijing after he entered the semifinal of 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. He previously gained recognition by winning top spots at international piano competitions.

"Among the impressive lineup of musicians we have invited this year, we are very happy to see young classical music musicians such as Sun. His participation adds to the richness of the performance series of the concert hall this year," said Zhang Yilin, general manager of Beijing Concert Hall.
