Silvie Cheng

Lauded for her “extraordinarily varied palette” (WholeNote Magazine) and “purely magical” playing (New York Concert Review), Tokyo-born Chinese-Canadian pianist Silvie Cheng illuminates musical works with her exquisite touch at the keyboard. Since her Carnegie Hall solo debut in 2011, she has performed internationally as both a solo recitalist and collaborative pianist on five continents, from the California Center for the Arts to Brussels’ Flagey Hall, Montreal’s Salle Bourgie to Santiago’s Centro GAM, and the University of South Africa to Shanghai’s Poly Theatre. In the 2022-23 season, she is both the musician-in-residence of Cecilia Concerts in Halifax and a National Arts Club Artist Fellow in New York City.

Recent highlights as guest soloist with orchestra include appearances with Symphony Nova Scotia and the New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra. Her distinctions over the years include top prizes at the Thousand Islands and Heida Hermanns International Piano Competitions, the Canadian Music Competition National Finals, the Ontario Music Federation Association Competition, and the Lillian Fuchs Chamber Music Competition. An avid chamber musician, Silvie tours extensively as the pianist of Cheng² Duo alongside her cellist brother, Bryan. In addition, her artistic partnership with violist Georgina Rossi explores the music of South America; their debut album of contemporary Chilean music, Mobili, was released on New Focus Recordings in 2020, with a sophomore album highlighting Brazilian music, Chorinho, coming out on PARMA Recordings in summer 2023.
