AIDAN CHAN is an Irish Chinese pianist whose work favours an exploration of identity and social structures through performance. He has an affinity for Chopin and Mozart. In short he is fearless, courageous and ambitious. 

For his London May concert Chan chose to focus on the work of Wagner and emerging British-Chinese composer Alex Ho.
