Pianist YA-FEI CHUANG first performed on television in her native Taiwan at the age of eight and gave her first public concert at age nine. At age thirteen she went to Germany to pursue her studies. In 1993 Chuang moved to the United States, where she earned a graduate diploma at the New England Conservatory in Boston. Still active in the area, she appears frequently with members of the Boston Symphony, and is a member of the chamber music ensemble, Mistral. Chuang has appeared as soloist with European orchestras, at the Brahms-Tage in Baden-Baden; the Spectrum Concerts in Berlin; and the Festivals of Schleswig-Holstein, Ravinia, and Token Creek. She has performed in venues such as the Cologne and Berlin Philharmonien, the Schauspielhaus Berlin, the Gewandhaus Leipzig, the National Philharmonic Hall Warsaw, and in Jordan Hall, Symphony Hall in Boston. Her musical partners include Kim Kashkashian and Robert Levin. Ya-Fei Chuang is on the faculty of the Preparatory Division and the School of Continuing Education at the New England Conservatory, and teaches a piano seminar at the SCE for active participants and auditors, with guest artists such as Christoph Wolff and Robert Levin from Harvard University, Victor Rosenbaum, and the 2006 Pulitzer prizewinner Yehudi Wyner. Ya-Fei Chuang's mastery of the most challenging solo repertoire is complemented by extensive activities as a chamber musician and duo partner, and by her commitment to contemporary music, including world premières of works by Stanley Walden and Thomas Oboe Lee. |
