Gao Ping

Gao Ping’s music has been performed in Europe, Asia, North and South America, in venues such as the Aspen Music Festival, the Gaudeamus International Music Week, Beijing Modern- International Music Festival, and Cincinnati’s New Music Festival “MusicX”. His music has been broadcast on several radio programs including America’s National Public Radio, New York City’s WNYC, New Zealand’s Concert FM, as well as the Central Chinese Broadcast Network, reaching millions of people.

A disc devoted to his music will be issued on the Naxos label. Besides his career as a composer, Gao Ping is also an active concert pianist with a wide range of repertoire. His recent recital in Beijing was called “sensational” (Beijing Music Weekly), and the Christchurch City Press (New Zealand) described his performance as “spellbinding.”

Among the musicians Gao Ping has worked with are Mme Zhou Guang-ren, Joel Hoffman, James Tocco, Frederic Rzewski, and his father, Gao Wei-jie.
