Masterworks by Mozart and Chopin

September 14, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Organist Brandon Zhou and pianist Sean Tang-Wang perform a duo recital at First Congregational Church of Long Beach this Sunday, September 14, 2025 at 3:00 PM, featuring Zhou’s arrangements of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 and Chopin’s Grande Polonaise Brillante for piano and organ. The majestic grandeur of both works, originally scored for piano and orchestra, is captured brilliantly in Zhou’s arrangements and by FCCLB’s mighty 70-rank Moller Opus 880 organ; the virtuosic passages and irresistible melodies shine in the hands of Tang-Wang’s effervescent playing. Théodore Dubois’ jubilant Toccata for solo organ rounds out the program. The concert is open to the public and free-will donations will be accepted. Zhou and Tang-Wang have developed this concept over the past two years, seeking to present classical music for piano and orchestra in accessible settings as an organ-piano duo where an orchestra is not readily available. In upcoming months, they will tour the greater Los Angeles area with this program, with additional performances at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Pasadena Presbyterian Church, and First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica.
