Synesthesia! The Musical and Visual Art of Emerging Young Artist Hong-Yu Hsien

Music in the Manor, St. John’s chamber music concert series featuring world-class musicians in an intimate setting, opens its third season on Sunday, October 18, at 2 p.m. with a special performance by young organist and visual artist Hong-Yu Hsien.

Hsien, a rising senior in the Juilliard Pre-College Division and at Pierrepont School in Westport, Connecticut, is an accomplished organist and visual artist. He is the winner of the 2026 L. Cameron Johnson Memorial Organ Competition for High School Students, has performed at Juilliard’s Paul Hall, and was selected to participate in the Curtis Institute of Music Summer Organ Intensive.

For his Music in the Manor program, Hsien will present “Synesthesia!” featuring an organ recital with works by J.S. Bach, Jean Langlais and Nico Muhly.

All are welcome. No tickets or reservations are required. A suggested donation of $20 will be collected at the door. A reception will follow the concert in the Parish Hall.

Established in 2024 by St. John’s Music Director Dr. Matthew Lewis and the Rev. Lisa Mason in honor of Dr. Paul-Martin Maki, Emeritus Director of Music, the Music in the Manor concert series strives to bring world-class live chamber music to the greater Larchmont-Mamaroneck community in an intimate setting.
