CunMo Yin
尹存墨, pianist
Born
in 1993 at Xinjiang, the remote western province of China, seventeen
years old Chinese pianist Cun Mo (pronounced tsuen-mo) Yin has been
widely recognized for accomplishing countless musical feats and taking
the pianistic world by storm at a strikingly young age.
In 2008, Cun Mo recorded Liszt’s Twelve Transcendental Etudes at the age
of thirteen. The recording and accompanying performance with the
Shanghai Symphony Orchestra playing Liszt’s 2nd Piano Concerto, and a
solo recital in the prestigious Braunschweig Music Festival in Germany,
have earned him a reputation as a “young Liszt reborn.” French pianist
Cyprien Katsaris indicated that Cun Mo’s performances reminded him of
the style of Hungarian virtuoso pianist Georges Cziffra.
As a student at the Shanghai Conservatory Affiliated High School, Cun Mo
was the recipient of the Yamaha Asia Music Scholarship as well as the
second prize winner and the youngest contestant of the 2009 Shanghai
International Piano Competition.
Cun Mo’s featured appearance on China Central Television’s Piano
Extravaganza before the 2008 Beijing Olympics garnered unprecedented
praise from music critics and audiences alike. This included pianist
Lang Lang, who proclaimed that Cun Mo “is probably the most promising
young star on the horizon.” In 2009, as the winner of Foundation for
Chinese Performing Arts Piano Competition, he appeared as a soloist with
the Longwood Symphony Orchestra at Boston’s historical Esplanade
performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major.
Currently, Cun Mo is studying with Hung-Kuan Chen at Walnut Hill School
for the Arts and New England Conservatory’s Preparatory Program. His
past teachers included Zheng Daxing, and Tang Peihua.
