Hailed by The Philadelphia Inquirer as a “first class talent… superb pianist” and by International Piano (London) for “praises follow her around the world”, Taiwanese-American pianist Ching-Yun has built an illustrious career as a soloist, educator, and entrepreneur.
Winner of top prizes at the 12th Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition and the Concert Artists Guild Competition, she’s been praised by audiences and critics across the globe for dazzling virtuosity and magnetic stage presence.
Since her debuts with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and Philadelphia orchestra, she has performed sold-out concerts at many of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals — including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw, Aspen Music Festival and Ruhr Klavier Festival.
An active recording artist, her debut album, Ching-Yun Hu Plays Chopin, was named Best Classical Album of the Year by Taiwan’s Golden Melody Award and Ching-Yun Hu: Rachmaninoff was hailed as “essential listening for Rachmaninoff admirers” by Pianist magazine.
A tireless advocate for music education, Ching-Yun raised $27,000 for youth education through a Hope Charity Concert live-streamed on her Facebook page, reaching 140,000 people across the globe.
She is the founder of the Philadelphia Young Pianists’ Academy (PYPA). Now in its 11th year, PYPA provides opportunities for young pianists while serving as an important bridge of cultural partnerships between West and East.
