Haochen's book on classical music,《演奏之外》（“On the Other Side of Performing”), has just been published in China! It’s a collection of essays which he wrote during most of the quarantine periods in the past two years, and contains his thoughts on some general topics surrounding the nature and history of classical music, as well as the individual composers with whom he feel especially close. To order (in Mandarin), click here.
Haochen was honored to have collaborated with Shangri-La on their 50th anniversary #withheart campaign. Learn about his life inspirations here.
Haochen is recently featured in a new video series by the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Cliburn Masterpiece. He explores and examines Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, including the background, the narrative, the character and technical difficulties of the piece. The episode includes Haochen's full performance from the competition and remains up for on-demand viewing!

After performing all of Beethoven's piano concerti over the course of two nights in August with the Shanghai Opera House Orchestra in Shanghai, Haochen is looking forward to performing the famous "Emperor" piano concerto – the last piano concerto Beethoven wrote and perhaps the most well-known of them – with the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mikko Franck in Paris this coming Wednesday, October 7. Learn more here.
Following the cancellation of the China tour with National Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Noseda, the below concerts where I was scheduled to perform have also been postponed until a later time. It’s disappointing not being able to share music with all of you, and the sudden retreat to isolation does make me miss the life on the road. But through one form or another, I believe music will always be with us regardless. Hopefully I will have more updated information soon – but meanwhile, please stay at home and be healthy!
