Pei-Jee Ny and Chiao-Ying Chang
Described by the Financial Times in 2009 as ‘one of those rare musicians who makes you unaware of technique – and eager to hear again’, Pei-Jee Ng was born in Sydney and grew up in Adelaide studying at the Elder Conservatorium with Janis Laurs and Barbara Yelland. In 2001 he was Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year and in 2003 entered the Royal Northern College of Music on a full scholarship where he studied with Ralph Kirshbaum, graduating with distinction. He was selected for representation by Young Concert Artists Trust (YCAT) in 2008.
Over the last year Pei-Jee’s engagements have included recitals at Wigmore Hall, Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Sounding Jerusalem Festival and an appearance as soloist with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra.
Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Chiao-Ying Chang began her piano studies at the age of five. As a child prodigy she won 1st prizes at both Taiwan National Piano Competition and Kawai Competition for Young Pianists and gave her debut recital in the following year at 12 years old. She continued her studies with Prof. Yu-Chiou Tchen at the Affiliated High School of National Taiwan Normal University before winning a full scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music in 1997.
