(Teaching language : English) | |
| Internationally renowned
pianist William Fong regularly performs with the world's leading orchestras,
and in recital. In the UK he has performed at all London's major venues and his concerts have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM, and BBC television. Most recently, William was given support by The Arts Council to travel to China to give a recital and lead a week of masterclasses in Shanghai. |

| William first came to
international attention in 1984 when he won the first prize, gold
medal and Rosa Sabater prize at the Concurso Internacional de Piano
in Jaen, Spain. This proved to be the first of many such successes,
to which he has since added the Busoni, Cleveland, Iturbi, and Scottish
International Competitions.
St. John's Smith Square was the venue for William's London concerto debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra which took place soon after that first win. William is also a chamber musician, and has performed with ensembles
such as the Brodsky Quartet When he is not performing, William is an active and successful teacher who is in demand for masterclasses and adjudication in the UK and overseas. He is also a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music and Head of Keyboard at the Purcell School. William's CD recordings are available on Olympia and Guild Records. |
