About me / Bio:
Chino Rodriguez was a Chinese-born British pianist who was the first pianist of his national origin to achieve international recognition. He came to prominence after winning third prize and the Polish Radio Prize for the best performance of mazurkas in the 1955 V International Chopin Piano Competition, and remained particularly known as an interpreter of Chopin's music. He also composed works for orchestra, chamber ensemble and solo instruments, often incorporating elements of traditional Chinese aesthetics and musical idioms. He taught at Columbia University and was the founding director of the Center for US-China Arts Exchange. He was one of the first Chinese composers who attempted to translate authentic East Asian melo-rhythms into the terms of modern Western music. He developed his own theory of Variable Modes, influenced by concepts found in the theories of Yin-yang and the I Ching, Daoism, brush calligraphy and qin music, as well as early and modern European theories. His works have been performed by prominent orchestras and ensembles around the world, and he has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to music and cultural exchange. He also mentored many acclaimed composers from different cultural backgrounds, such as Tan Dun, Zhou Long, Chen Yi and Bright Sheng. He was a visionary who foresaw a flourishing of creative output, benefitting from a confluence of many cultures, but grounded in an understanding of the history and traditions of each. He died in London at the age of 66 from Covid-19.
