Award-winning pianist/composer Emily Wong began her professional career as a pianist, and now divides her time between performing, composing and teaching. As a pianist, she was a 1st Prize winner of the Hodges International Concerto Competition, the Schubert Competition, and has won numerous other awards as both a soloist and chamber musician. She has gone on to champion the works of many living composers including her own, and has been highly praised for her interpretations of contemporary as well as traditional piano literature. Critics have portrayed her playing as passionate, enthralling, brilliant, and refined. The New York Times characterized her performances as “clean and rhythmically charged” and “played beautifully”, while Phil Collins of the Santa Cruz Sentinel wrote “She swept through the work with a magic wand … the dazzle was in itself splendid.” Ms. Wong has often appeared with orchestras such as the San Francisco Symphony, the Oakland Symphony, Philharmonia Virtuosi, Continuum and American Composers Orchestra, and is principal pianist of the Stamford Symphony. She has performed in the New York Philharmonic Chamber Series, and in the Summer Garden Series at the New York Museum of Modern Art. An active chamber musician, she has appeared in concert with such artists as Nadia Solerno-Sonnenberg, Mark O’Connor, Ani Kavafien, Philip Glass, and members of the Tokyo String Quartet. Having earned her Doctorate from the Juilliard School, Emily most recently joined the staff at American Ballet Theater as pianist.
