Born in 1992, Chinese musician Peng-Peng Gong began formal piano studies at age five with Professor Ye Hui-Fang (1930-2010). Giving his first public solo recital at age eight, Gong was accepted to Shanghai Music Conservatory Primary School, where he won the China National Youth Piano Competition in 2002. He was accepted to Juilliard’s Pre-College Division at age 9. In 2009, he became the youngest composer to be signed by Lauren Keiser Music Publishing after winning six consecutive years of ASCAP Annual Awards for Young Composers. His 'Piano Concerto No. 3' was awarded a China State Prize for Excellent Orchestral Music and received its second performance by the Shanghai Philharmonic in an entire program of Gong’s orchestral works with the composer as soloist. Gong has accepted numerous solo and concerto engagements with major venues and orchestras throughout the world. He received his Bachelor of Music Degree from the Juilliard School in 2014 and his instructors have included Yoheved Kaplinsky, Andrew Thomas, and Samuel Adler.
