Chih-Yi Chen, pianist

Born in Taiwan of Japanese and Chinese parents, educated in America, pursuing the final degree in classical piano performance at Indiana University School of Music where she received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, Chih Yi Chen is an active soloist, a chamber player, a prominent accompanist. Her great success in the concert series of the Mozart Concerto with Taipei Symphony Orchestra in Taiwan during the year of 1999 has triggered her performing career in Asia. Miss Chen has recently given her solo recitals in Japan, and will extend her concert tour to Paris this summer.

Chih-Yi Chen

She also recording her first solo album by RIAX Classical label - Japan, this year. Indeed, Chih-Yi’s playing throughout is stunning: First of all, her beautifully controlled and its incredible deep solid sounds heard in her favorite repertoires such as Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43" or Chopin "Polonaise" are almost impossible to be imagined from her small hands. Second of all, her music is always a storyteller; technically, her interpretations of each repertoires are amazingly well though and naturally intercommunicate with listeners. Finally, she’s got the beauty on every stage.
