DANG THAI SON

Artist’s website

An artist that needs no introduction. Dang Thai Son’s last sold out appearance with us in Vancouver caused people to clamour for his return.

Referred to as “a genuine musician” by the great Isaac Stern, a young and almost completely unknown Dang Thai Son caused a stir in the musical world by walking away with the gold medal at the 10th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.

Equally sought after as a pedagogue, Dang Thai Son’s students include some of today’s most distinguished young pianists. For this Vancouver visit, Dang will be performing with three of his most talented pupils, young pianists who are already seasoned performers and winners at international competitions: Canadian J. J. Jun Li Bui, 6th prize winner at the 18th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw; Taiwanese Kai-Min Chang, quarterfinalist at the 2021 International Chopin Competition; and Canadian Sophia Liu, who has already performed at the prestigious Duszniki Festival as well as Warsaw’s Chopin and His Europe Festival.

In September 2024, Kai-Min Chang, one of the Dang’s students performing in Vancouver, won 4th prize and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society Award at the Leeds International Piano Competition. We believe that this will be a very exciting concert indeed.

Join us for this very special concert with two generations of artists, another first for The Vancouver Chopin Society!
