BIOGRAPHY

Kevin Lee Sun is Assistant Professor of Piano at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. With “probing seriousness” (Performing Arts Monterey Bay) and “a stunningly beautiful palette of colors” (Peninsula Reviews), Sun interprets music old and new. In 2011, Sun won the Silver Medal at the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition in California for his performances of the classical canon. In 2021, he was the sole pianist to be named Finalist of the Berlin Prize for Young Artists in Germany.

Sun has performed a diverse repertoire around the world, including at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna, the Villa Elisabeth in Berlin, and the Banff Centre in Canada. His debut album, Rzewski: The People United Will Never Be Defeated!, was released in 2024 on the Navona Records label, and it is streaming worldwide.

A native of Sacramento, Sun began his piano studies in his hometown with Sylvia and Tien Hsieh, who fostered his musical talent. He later studied with Lorna Peters at Sacramento State, Sharon Mann at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Alexander Kobrin at the Eastman School of Music, and Thomas Schultz at Stanford University.
