Xiang Zou

Schubert | Godowsky

Xiang Zou [pronounced Tshi-ung Zoh] was the youngest pianist ever to become First Laureate of Calgary’s Honens International Piano Competition. At only 23, his performance of Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and Sir Neville Marriner brought the cheering audience to its feet. He is an artist of the highest sensitivity, imagination and focus, combining consummate musicality with fiery enthusiasm. Zou has performed in recital and with chamber groups in major cities including Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Hong Kong, New York, Vancouver, Verbier, Santa Barbara and Shanghai. In 2005, he founded the New Asian Ensemble at The Juilliard School, an organization dedicated to introducing contemporary Asian music to Western culture, and Western contemporary music to Asian audiences.
