Hailed by critics as “a gifted young pianist of genuine substance” and “New Zealand’s most notable young emerging pianist,” Sylvia Jiang is a brilliant performer on the rise. For her debut national tour as a soloist, she has built a programme around the theme of ‘home’—both to her personally and as a broader concept.
This results in a unique blend of New Zealand music, American compositions reminiscent of her time at Juilliard, and works reflecting her family’s Chinese heritage.
Sylvia Jiang is a Juilliard graduate and holds an Artist Diploma from the Peabody Institute. Her performances have been featured on BBC News, ABC Australia, and RNZ Concert, amongst others, and she has won numerous prizes at prestigious competitions including the Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition.
