Peter Fang 方壯壯,
piano
Hailed
“piano prodigy” by The Seattle Time and acclaimed for an
“immense and electric (performance)...exhibits more winning
confidence than most of his peers...sounded unusually musical”
by The Boston Music Intelligencer, Peter Fang is a pianist who
relishes embracing the major masterpieces of the repertoire. His
recitals have typically included such large works as Chopin 24
Études, Liszt Transcendental Études, J.S. Bach Goldberg
Variations, and the complete piano sonatas of Brahms. His early
endeavors when he began his piano study with his father at age 4
included smaller works such as Bach’s Minuet in G, which he
loved, and Isidor Philipp’s Piano Exercises and Études, which he
did not.
As a first prize winner at The 2012 Steinway Piano Competition
and a recipient of Chi Mei Art Award, Mr. Fang has performed in
many prestigious concert halls around the world. These include
the Boston Symphony Hall, Lincoln Center, Benaroya Hall, Taipei
National Concert Hall, Monteverdi Conservatory’s A. B.
Michelangeli Hall, New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall,
Juilliard’s Paul Hall, Yale University’s Morse Hall, Salzburger
Barockmuseum, Orchard Cove Hall, and University of Norte Dame’s
Debartolo Performing Center. In addition, Mr. Fang has
participated as a soloist and chamber musician at the Mozarteum
Summer Academy in Salzburg, the Perlman Music Program in New
York, and the Music Festival at Walnut Hill.
Mr. Fang’s father, who is a private music teacher, also taught
him violin, viola, and composition. Subsequently, his fourteen
years of serious violin education gave him a special affinity
for working with others. As a passionate chamber musician, Mr.
Fang has collaborated and performed with Nicholas Kitchen, Lev
Klychkov, Sam Ou, and among others. Mr. Fang substituted at the
last minute for the 2011 Warsaw International Chopin Competition
Winner Sa Chen, playing with violinist Feng Ning at NEC’s Jordan
Hall in 2014, and the performance was hailed “highly impressive
and phenomenal” by The World Journal. Mr. Fang’s 2016 duo
project with Music Traveler received high acclaim, and his 2018
concert tour with violinist Angelo Xiang Yu “brought passion and
panache (The Boston Music Intelligencer)”. Mr. Fang is also the
co-founder of the Edelweiss Piano Trio, giving many chamber
concerts in the Greater Boston area.
As a new music promoter, Mr. Fang has premiered and recorded
contemporary solo and chamber works. These include the
Premonitions by Kenji Bunch, a solo recording of Light and
Darkness by Victor Kong (2015), the piano quintet Enchanted
Garden by Behzad Ranjbaran, and the piano trio Differences and
Repetition (commissioned by Juilliard) at the Focus Festival.
Mr. Fang studied with Professors Hung-Kuan Chen, Alexander
Korsantia, Meng-Chieh Liu, Robert Levin, and Peter Serkin, and
he earned degrees from New England Conservatory and The
Juilliard School. Mr. Fang is a current student and secondary
piano instructor at Yale School of Music.
