Irvine Barclay Theatre CATP: Connie Han

CONNIE HAN: A SOLO PIANO IMPROVISED CONCERT PROGRAM

Hailed by DownBeat magazine as “The Jazz Warrior-Goddess,” 27-year-old pianist and composer Connie Han is redefining jazz with her bold, contemporary style. A Steinway Artist since 2019, Han blends technical mastery with emotional depth to captivate audiences worldwide.

For Han, storytelling is at the core of her artistry. She channels the power of myth and the legacy of jazz to connect deeply with audiences, using music as both sanctuary and inspiration. With each performance, Han combines tradition and innovation, proving that jazz remains as powerful and relevant as ever.

Her latest album, Secrets of Inanna, draws inspiration from the Sumerian myth, The Descent of Inanna, a story of transformation and resilience. The music vividly explores the goddess Inanna’s descent into the underworld, her struggles, and ultimate rebirth as the Queen of Heaven and Earth—a metaphor for personal growth and rebirth.
