Sharon Chen

Bio//

Composer–pianist. Original piano works rooted in the Romantic tradition and shaped by cross-cultural philosophy.

Composer, pianist, and violinist creating contemporary classical repertoire rooted in the Western tradition, with lyrical and modern Impressionist influences. A Harvard College alumna in Music and East Asian Languages and Civilizations, her work draws on both Western form and Chinese philosophical systems. Her work includes widely heard original piano works such as Nocturne in C minor, The Phoenix Waltz, Where Light Sleeps, and piano EPs Lettre pour toi and Trois petits morceaux morceaux, alongside programmatic cycles shaped by philosophical frameworks such as the Wu Xing (Five Phases). These projects form interconnected chapters in an evolving artistic timeline, emphasizing melody, color, and theme-and-variation within a contemporary classical language. Her music is often described as quietly immersive, with emotional precision. Sheet music for selected originals on website. Selected performances on Hua Mulan moniker.

C'est la vie, my CD, available here. Other CD projects in construction.

In Your Heart I Stay

Sharon Chen is a composer of fine piano pieces and also of instrumental magical creations, here on this brand new EP the artist has manifested some of her most sumptuous work this far, on this classy collection called Lettre Pour Toi, the influence’s ranging from the European classical and more western inspired short film narratives, are there in a pristine manifestation of tone and timbre.

The proud opening gift is called Rendezvous du Matin, this is one of the most immaculate tracks I have heard from Sharon, the presentation on piano is perfect and wonderfully artistically delicate, the rising energies and note progression gifts the listener a composition redolent of the subject matter, an morning rendezvous, in a day filled with hope and anticipation perhaps.

The second offering entitled La Danse de Bebe Cygne, is one of the lightest offerings from the EP and the performance, but also has its occasionally minor moment as the baby swan tries to clamber onto land. In English The Dance of the Baby Swan is one of those tracks that you won’t be able to leave alone, Chen’s performance is sublime and extremely creative, and if all truth be told one of the finest I have heard from her.

One composition I grew greatly passionate about was the following piece called Le Courage d'aimer {The Courage to Love} In my view this is Chen at her best, creating emotive patterns on her piano one after the other, in one of the most heartfelt performances of all time, slower segments and a delightful coda could all be found here.

'Lettre Pour Toi is our concluding offering, with Chen’s performance on felt piano seemingly utterly timeless, like a panting by Monet, full of colour, a pronounced and elevated tonal mastery can be found here. This is one of the most ambient offerings from the artist ever, and quite frankly a piece that I will delight in playing throughout the decades ahead.

Lettre Pour Toi by Sharon Chen is with ease her best work to date, her presentations and performance is one of the best, if not the best I have heard from her, in French I would doubtlessly say, felicitations Sharon, vous avez excellé dans cette belle nouvelle sortie. In English I salute one of the most creative EP’s I have heard this year on, Lettre Pour Toi by Sharon Chen.'
