Pianist Tony Yike Yang first rose to international acclaim in 2015 after becoming the youngest-ever laureate in the history of the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw at the age of 16. Since then, he has won many other important prizes.
Born in Chongqing and raised in Toronto, Yang is a recent graduate of Harvard University. Tony has been a feature artist of Toronto-based charity Looking at the Stars, delivering between 5-10 concerts a year to prisons across Lithuania and the United States.
For his UK debut recital as part of the Discovery Series at Leighton House, he will be performing works by Scriabin and Chopin.
