Tony Siqi Yun

“Tony is a true poet of the keyboard. Expressive, and with his own distinct voice, yet elegant and poised.” — Pianist Magazine, 2019.

Following his highly acclaimed subscription debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra performing Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin in the 2022–23 season, the Canadian-born pianist Tony Siqi Yun will next season make his subscription debut at Carnegie Hall with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Orchestre Métropolitain performing Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto. He first met Maestro Nézet-Séguin in the final round of the inaugural China International Music Competition in 2019, where he went on to win First Prize and a Gold Medal performing Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. Other recent concerto performances have included the Cleveland Orchestra (Tchaikovsky), Toronto Symphony and Orchestre Métropolitain in Montreal (Clara Schumann) and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris (Beethoven). Recent and future highlights include his debuts at the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie and Leipzig Gewandhaus; in Düsseldorf and Luxembourg; and in North America at the Vancouver Recital Society, 92NY, Carnegie Hall, Colorado Music Festival, and the Gilmore Rising Stars Series. At the Rheingau Musik Festival in Germany, he was awarded the 2023 LOTTO-Förderpreis. He is a recipient of the Jerome L. Greene Fellowship at The Juilliard School, where he studies with Professor Yoheved Kaplinsky.
