Mei-Ting Sun

Mei-Ting Sun is the winner of the 7th National Chopin Piano Competition in 2005 and the first International Minnesota Piano Competition (formerly the Piano-e-Competition) in 2002. Named one of the Musicians of the Year 1996 by the Village Voice at age 15, the now 24-year-old pianist has performed in many of New York's concert halls, including Alice Tully Hall, where his performance of Ravel's Concerto in G was praised by The New York Times as a "stunningly fluid reading."

Mr. Sun has been featured several times on WQXR Classical Radio as part of the "Young Artist Showcase" program and on NPR as part of the "Performance Today" program. He has been heard in recital in much of the U.S., Japan, China, France, Spain, Italy, and Brazil. Recent appearances include concert tours in Brazil, the U.S. and Europe, and concerto engagements with the National Spanish Orchestra, the Macau Orchestra, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, and the Boca Raton Philharmonic Symphonia. Currently he is embarking upon a thirty-concert tour of the U.S. and abroad sponsored by the Chopin Foundation of the United States.

A native of Shanghai, Mr. Sun arrived in New York at the age of 9, and entered the Professional Children's School and the Mannes College of Music, where he studied Ear Training with Marie Powers, Theory with Robert Cuckson, and Piano with Edward Aldwell. He has since received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the Mannes College of Music, studying with Edward Aldwell. In May of 2006, he received his Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from the Juilliard School.
