About me
Music has been my lifelong passion and profession, shaping a dynamic career as a solo pianist, collaborative artist, accompanist, and church liturgy musician. I have performed in a wide range of settings—including solo recitals, chamber music, and choir accompaniment—bringing refined technique, expressive depth, and musical sensitivity to every performance.
Highlights of my recent performance journey include being invited to perform in the Schubert Club Winner’s Recital in 2022 as First Prize winner, and being selected that same year as a winner of the prestigious Bach Rising Star Audition in Taiwan, which led to a featured solo recital at Bach Hall in Taipei. I also performed in the 2023 Bach Festival in Minneapolis, presented a solo recital in 2024 at Taiwan’s National Taichung Theater, and was invited to collaborate with Mindekirken choir at Minnesota Orchestra Hall in 2025.
Throughout my career, I have actively participated in numerous national and international competitions, which have sharpened my technical mastery, artistic resilience, and interpretive insight. These experiences enrich my work as both a performer and educator. I also specialize in church music, offering skilled piano and organ accompaniment for liturgical services, supporting worship with musicality and reverence.
With over nine years of teaching experience, I combine performance expertise with a personalized teaching philosophy that helps students develop technical excellence, musical expression, and confidence. Whether on stage or in the studio, I am committed to delivering artistic integrity and meaningful musical experiences.
