Andrew Sun-Zhuang

I started playing the piano at the age of six and began taking piano lessons from the world’s well-known pianist Dr. Ivona Kaminska Bowlby from Chopin Academy of Music at age 7. Through my effort, I have won many top awards in various international and regional piano competitions. As a younger musician, I was the gold medalist in the 2022 Seattle International Piano Competition and my performance earned Audience Favorite Award among all the winners. Some of my other notable achievements include winning the 1st place in the 2023 Spring Music Competition of Charleston International Music Competition, the gold medal in the 2023 Seattle International Piano Festivals (SIPF) Classical Viennese Festival, the 1st place in the 2023 Crescendo International Music Competition, a winner of the 2022 American Protégé International Piano and Strings Competition, the gold medal in the 2022 Contemporary International Music Competition, and the gold medal in the 2022 and 2023 SIPF Virtuoso Artists Festival. My passion for music is not only expressed through my performances but also in my desire to use music power to share music and help others. In 2023, I have been invited to perform in two winners’ concerts at Carnegie Hall, one in Zankel Hall in February and the other in Weill Hall in May. As a talented young performer, I performed at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in Arizona in March 2023, where I helped to raise funds for children’s hospitals in Poland. In addition, I also attended different recitals such as Nordstrom Recital Hall Benaroya Hall and performed at various concerts around Seattle area to help the local communities fundraising.
Apart from playing the piano, I am also interested in musical composition. I enjoy learning about music theory and history, which helps me to better understand music.
