About

For us, sharing our enthusiasm for great works is as exciting as performing. We love to interact with our audiences, often taking questions and having discussions about the music and its history, as well as our instruments and our playing. Relevance is paramount and we want our audiences to experience these immortal and emotional works just as we do.

I've performed around the world in Recitals, Chamber music and Orchestral playing, specializing in programs with my pianist and Duo partner Wan-Chi Su. Apart from commissioning and championing new works by emerging and established composers, I often perform both rare and major works by composers from the early baroque through the 20th century. I curate programs that are compelling for audiences while delivering surprising musical pairings; all guided by introductions and commentary throughout the performance.
