Collaborative Pianist: Derek Wang

Pianist Derek Wang moves across performance, collaboration, curation, and public engagement with the “enviable idiomatic rigor” of a connoisseur (The Wall Street Journal) and the relish of “a musical gourmand” (Le Devoir).

Derek first came to international attention with his interpretations of Liszt, receiving awards at the 12th International Liszt Competition (Liszt Utrecht) in 2022 (Second Prize) and at the inaugural New York Liszt Competition in 2021 (First Prize).
