Hailed by CBC Music as one of Canada’s finest young musicians, pianist Tony Yike Yang first rose to international acclaim at the age of 16 after becoming the youngest-ever laureate in the history of the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, winning the 5th prize in 2015. The alumnus of The Taylor Academy has also performed for dozens of royalty, dignitaries, and ambassadors such as HRH Camilla, the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, HRH Queen Mathilde of Belgium, former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, former Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Sabah, and Polish President Andrzej Duda, among others.

The program includes the Ontario premieres of selections from Vincent Ho’s The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Animals, Book 2: Preludes and Fugues.

“…an absolute revelation…he combines the characteristics of a true virtuoso and an artist.” (The Chopin Courier)
