About

I am a pianist and educator based in New York and New Jersey. I have played concerts at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, the Harvard Club of New York City, Steinway Hall, Trinity Church Wall Street, the National Opera Center, and the Beijing National Library Performing Arts Center. As the first-prize winner of the Concerto Competition at Manhattan School of Music (MSM), I performed the Scriabin Piano Concerto with conductor Philippe Entremont. In addition, I have played with celebrated conductor Christian Vásquez in Italy.

I won top prizes in multiple international piano competitions and graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. I moved to New York to study at Manhattan School of Music, where I received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree.

Music

I have an extensive solo piano and chamber music repertoire that covers compositions from the Baroque era all the way to the 21st century. The music represents a wide range of cultural influences and backgrounds.
