Chou came to the United States from Taiwan when he was nine, several years after he began studying piano. ldquo;The only music teacher in my hometown of 100,000 taught piano. If he taught cello, I rsquo;d be a different man today.

The concert will also feature Symphony No. 4 in D minor by Robert Schumann and Shostakovich rsquo;s Festive Overture, Op.
