NEC Prep Student Solos with Chopin Foundation

William Ge, 16, won second place and the special Chopin Prize at the 2023 MTNA National Senior Piano Competition. He is a student at the Phillips Academy in Andover and the New England Conservatory Preparatory School. He currently studies piano with Ya-Fei Chuang and John Perry. He will study with Jonathan Bass starting September 2023. After winning the Albert M. Greenfield Concerto Competition in 2019, William debuted with the Philadelphia Orchestra in October 2022. The Philadelphia Inquirer described his rendition of Mozart’s Concerto No. 23 as “notably fluid while gilding the music with spots of interpretive individualization.” William is a third-year recipient of the Chopin Foundation’s Chopin Scholarship Program and one of 28 Caroline D. Bradley Scholars in the class of 2025 in the U.S.

William will be giving two solo recitals in Miami and Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 3rd and 4th, 2023, as part of the Chopin for All concerts of the Chopin Foundation of US. The concerts will be livestreamed on YouTube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpzknEv3Vbk
