The Villages Music Festival

World renowned pianist Melvyn Tan needs little introduction. Exploration, insight and imagination are vital ingredients in his blend of artistic attributes. He established his international reputation in the 1980s with pioneering performances on fortepiano and continues to cast fresh light on music conceived for the piano’s early and modern forms.  His performances of piano masterworks penetrate the surface of interpretive traditions and received wisdom to reveal countless expressive nuances and rarely heard tonal contrasts. Acclaimed for the wit and poetry of his playing, his delightful personality and kindness shine through every performance.
