A piano master class will be held on Tuesday, June 4, 2024 at the Minnesota Music Teachers Association annual convention at Normandale Lutheran Church.

Our clinicians this year are Alvin and Angela Chow. Alvin Chow has appeared throughout North America and Asia as orchestral soloist and recitalist.  In addition, he has performed extensively in duo-piano recitals with his wife, Angela Cheng, and his twin brother, Alan.  Consistently praised for her brilliant technique, tonal beauty and superb musicianship, Canadian pianist Angela Cheng is one of her country’s national treasures.  An avid recitalist, Ms. Cheng has performed solo and chamber recitals throughout North America, Asia, and Europe.
