Described as “stylish and articulate” by The New York Times and praised as having “undoubted talent” by The Los Angeles Times, pianist David Fung is widely recognized for playing that is elegant and refined, yet deeply poetic and intensely expressive. Mr. Fung has appeared as soloist with the world’s foremost ensembles. Recent and upcoming engagements include performances with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Israel Camerata, the Israel Philharmonic, the Israel Symphony, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Belgium, the National Taiwan Symphony, New Japan Philharmonic, the Royal Chamber Orchestra, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, the Tampere Philharmonic, the Xiamen Philharmonic, and with all the major orchestras in his native Australia, including the Melbourne Symphony, the Queensland Symphony, and Sydney Symphony Orchestras.

A frequent guest artist of concert series and festivals throughout the world, Mr. Fung has performed at the Aspen Music Festival, Edinburgh International Festival, Hong Kong Arts Festival, Music at Menlo, Ravinia Festival, and at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, the Queen’s Hall, La Monnaie, the Palais des Beaux-Arts, the Zürich Tonhalle, the Glenn Gould Studio, the Sydney Opera House, Israel’s Mann Auditorium, and in the major concert halls in Asia. At his Edinburgh International Festival debut, Jonas Green of the Edinburgh Guide described Mr. Fung as being “impossibly virtuosic, prodigiously talented… and probably [doing] ten more impossible things daily before breakfast.”

Mr. Fung garnered international attention as a winner of the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition in Brussels and the Arthur Rubinstein Piano International Masters Competition in Tel Aviv, where he was further distinguished by prizes for Best Mozart Concerto and Best Performance of Chamber Music. Mr. Fung was the first pianist to graduate from the Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles and is an official Steinway Artist.
