600 Hamilton St., Vancouver, BC (Click for directions)

“His play with dynamics in La Valse was exceptional, an almost subliminal but powerful dramatic feature that came through while one was gripped by the clarity of details under his hands.” (New York Classical Review)

“He approaches every phrase, every dynamic directive, every expressive indication as an art conservator might restore a painting by an old master, removing decades of accumulated dust and grime.” (Gramophone)

William Yang attracted international acclaim when he became a laureate at the 2025 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. He also captured the gold medal at the 2025 National Chopin Piano Competition in Miami, Florida. Since then, he has made impressive debuts at the Seoul Arts Centre, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, and the Osaka Symphony Hall. As a concerto soloist, he has appeared with the Warsaw Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, among many others.

Yang is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, and was a Kovner Fellow at the Julliard School of Music.
