Hailed as a “complete musician – a sensitive artist and an extremely talented young pianist”, Congyu Wang is an internationally renowned soloist who has garnered acclaim as a recitalist, accompanist and chamber musician.

Born in Singapore, Congyu Wang started playing the piano at the age of 3. He was selected for a scholarship that enabled him to attend the prestigious Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, where he studied with renowned pianists Jean-Marc Luisada and Odile Catelin-Delangle. He later enrolled in the Schola Cantorum (Paris) to continue his studies with Gabriel Tacchino (who had been Francis Poulenc’s only student). Ever since youth, Congyu Wang has enjoyed phenomenal success in international piano competitions, ultimately winning the Grand Prize in Berlin and Bordeaux. His other prizes include Tallinn, Vulaines-sur-Seine, Lagny-sur-Marne, Merignac, Paris and Cle d’Or Reunion.

At the Chopin International Piano Competition for Young Pianists in Slovenia, Congyu was awarded 6th Prize.

Congyu Wang has since made appearances in over 750 recitals in France, England, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Reunion Island, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries.

His recordings are frequently broadcasted on radios internationally – France Musique, Radio Vie, Rádio Antena 2, Symphony 924 etc.
