About
Pianist Derek Wang moves across performance, collaboration, curation, and public engagement with the “enviable idiomatic rigor” of a connoisseur (The Wall Street Journal) and the relish of “a musical gourmand” (Le Devoir). Derek first came to international attention with his interpretations of Liszt, receiving awards at the 12th International Liszt Competition (Liszt Utrecht) in 2022 (Second Prize) and at the inaugural New York Liszt Competition in 2021 (First Prize), which presented his debut in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall with an all-Liszt program. Derek held a three-summer-long position as pianist of the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble at the Aspen Music Festival and is presently Creative Enterprise Fellow at Juilliard, where he curates a range of interdisciplinary programs. Derek holds degrees from Juilliard and from the Yale School of Music. www.derek-wang.com
