Mei-Ting
Sun is the first prize winner of the 7th National Chopin
Piano Competition in 2005 and the first International Piano-e-Competition
in 2002. Named one of the Musicians of the Year 1996 by the Village
Voice at age 15, the now 24-year-old pianist has performed in many
of New York's concert halls, including Alice Tully Hall, where his
performance of Ravel's Concerto in G was praised by The New York
Times as a "stunningly fluid reading."

Mr. Sun has been featured several
times on WQXR Classical Radio as part of the “Young Artist
Showcase” program and on NPR as part of the “Performance
Today” program. He has been heard in recital in much of the
U.S., Japan, China, France, Spain and Italy. Recent appearances
include concert tours of Spain, China and Japan, concerto engagements
with the Richmond and Winnipeg Symphonies, the National Spanish
Orchestra, the Macau Orchestra, and the Hong Kong Sinfonietta. Upcoming
engagements include a twenty concert-tour of the U.S. and abroad
sponsored by the Chopin Foundation of the United States.

Mr. Sun is also highly involved
in education and outreach of classical music, where his newest efforts
at whitekeys.com has garnered
major press attention shortly after its grand-opening, and his professional
website, meiting.com, has become
a major tour-de-force and a model for other musician’s websites.

A native of Shanghai, Mr. Sun
arrived in New York at the age of 9, and entered the Professional
Children's School and the Mannes College of Music, where he studied
Ear Training with Marie Powers, Theory with Robert Cuckson, and
Piano with Edward Aldwell. He has since received his Bachelor's
and Master's degrees from the Mannes College of Music, studying
with Edward Aldwell. Currently he is a C. V. Starr Doctoral Fellow
at the Juilliard School, studying with Robert McDonald.
