Pianist Anna Han first came to Lamp in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Always a favourite in our concert hall, Anna strives to deliver heartfelt performances through a variety of classical solo and chamber music repertoire. A laureate of many competitions, including the Hilton Head International Piano Competition, Juilliard Bachauer Competition, New York International Piano Competition, and Salon de Virtuosi Grant, she has performed eleven different concerti with orchestras, premiered multiple compositions, and recorded on the Steinway and Sons label. Highlights of this season include concerts at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland, Lamp, Piano Salon Christophori in Berlin, Pierre Boulez Saal, Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, National Concert Hall of Taipei, National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, and Virginia Arts Festival, with collaborators including Steven Isserlis, Kim Kashkashian, Randall Goosby, and the Verona Quartet. With the help of the 2021 Bita Cattelan Philanthropic Engagement Award from the Concours Musical International de Montréal, she is producing a documentary about the effect that Covid had on a handful of classical musicians she met during her first residency at LAMP, and who now live all around the world.
Born in Arizona, Anna began her musical journey at the East Valley Yamaha Music School, and studied privately with Fei Xu for thirteen years. A U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, she completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the Juilliard School under the tutelage of Robert McDonald, receiving both the prestigious Kovner Fellowship and William Schuman Prize. A returning alum of Yellow Barn and Kneisel Hall, she has also studied with Christopher Elton at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She currently lives in Berlin, where she is pursuing an Artist Diploma at the Barenboim-Said Akademie under the tutelage of Sir András Schiff and Schaghajegh Nostrati.
