'Kristian Chong is the brightest star in the heady firmament of young pianists emerging from Melbourne (Australia) today... The deafening applause that erupted as the last bravura chord was struck was testament indeed to the huge pianistic career Chong will most certainly enjoy.
'Kristian Chong is a pianist of impressive talent and sensitivity...a true chamber musician at work...' The Age
Adelaide-born, Melbourne-based pianist Kristian Chong is rapidly establishing himself as one of Australia's leading musicians. Performances have taken him throughout Australia and the UK, and also in China, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, USA, and Zimbabwe. As concerto soloist he has appeared on numerous occasions with the Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland, Sydney and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras, and various orchestras in the UK and China under conductors such as Graham Abbott, Werner Andreas Albert, Andrey Boreyko, Nicholas Braithwaite, Roy Goodman, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, Nicholas Milton, Tuomas Oillia, Marcus Stenz, Arvo Volmer and Marco Zuccarini. He has recorded and broadcast for Australian and American radio (WGBX - Boston), HKRT (Hong Kong), ABC-TV, and appears for Musica Viva Australia. His many competition successes include winning the Symphony Australia Young Performers Award (keyboard) and the Australian National Piano Award.
Currently Kristian is based in Melbourne but until recently was based in London, where has completed studies at the Royal Academy of Music with Christopher Elton and Piers Lane. He was a recipient twice of the Dip. RAM, the academy’s highest performing accolade, the Walter MacFarren award for the best postgraduate final recital and the Dorothy Grimstead Memorial Award for the most outstanding returning postgraduate student amongst other awards. In Australia he studied with Stephen McIntyre at the University of Melbourne, where Kristian also teaches Piano, Chamber Music and Piano Pedagogy.
