Shu-Wei Tseng, Piano/Cello

Musician

Known for her exceptional technique, musicality, and her programme versatility, Taiwanese-British musician Shu-Wei Tseng has performed as both soloist and chamber musician across four continents in major concert halls on the piano and cello.

Her playing has been described as radiating a "passionate, energetic, researched, and committed personality with a powerful, fluid and beyond reproach technique" and producing "characters, colours, dynamics …. seldom heard in concerts".

Shu-Wei holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she is a Global Ambassador for the University since 2022 and will serve on the Forever Buffs Advisory Board at the university from June 2024, previous degrees and LRAM from London’s Royal Academy of Music on both instruments, a permanent teacher certification from the United Kingdom (PGCE + QTS), NPQSL, and MSc. in Psychology.

Alongside regular lectures/masterclasses and workshops she gives internationally, Shu-Wei was frequently featured as the musician representative for the Taipei Consulate and the Taiwan Ministry of Culture in the UK, as well as representing the UK at the D-Day Commemoration Concerts in Normandy, France since 2016. In 2023, Shu-Wei appeared as a soloist and chamber musician at the award-winning New York City Ballet principal Tiler Peck's sold-out European debut, Turn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends before relocating to New York at the end of 2023. Dr Tseng has since performed at the Consulate General of Poland as part of the XXV International Chopin and Friends Festival's Final Promenade, NYU, and the National Opera Center.
