Tzu-Yu Yang

Tzu-Yu Yang deserves applause for her two magnificent instruments from 1806 and 1815 respectively. She takes full advantage of the chromatic variety of these five- and six-pedal pianos, which are capable of modifying the sound separately for the right and left hands. The articulation is crystal clear and the phrasing is luminously transparent.

One of the leading specialists in historical keyboard instruments of her generation, Tzu-Yu Yang is a collaborative fortepianist and harpsichordist at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

As a soloist, chamber musician, and continuo player, she is a sought-after partner in a wide range of repertoire. Her recording of Beethoven’s Piano Concertos Nos. 3 and 4 (Lachner version) with Thibault Back de Surany and The Van Swietens was released by IBS Classical España in 2024 to critical acclaim.

A graduate of the Mozarteum University Salzburg and the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, she maintains an active career across Europe and Asia. Her performances on fortepiano, harpsichord, and modern piano have brought her to major venues and festivals, including Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, Musikverein Vienna, Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg, and National Concert Hall Taipei.

Alongside her concert activity, Tzu-Yu Yang is deeply committed to pedagogy and the transmission of historical performance practice. She is the co-founder and artistic director of Concerto Taipei, the first academy dedicated to Classical and Romantic performance practice in Asia.
