Kiu Tung Poon

Young Steinway Artist, Kiu Tung Poon, has appeared as a recitalist and collaborative pianist on concert stages worldwide, and at venues and festivals including Tanglewood and Aspen in the United States, Wiener Konzerthaus in Austria, St Martin-in-the-Fields in London and the Great Wall of China in Beijing.

Her solo playing was described as ‘lyrical and emotionally nuanced… displayed lyricism and virtuosity’ by the Woodstock Times. Her world première of Mark Morris/Samuel Barber’s Excursions with the Mark Morris Dance Group at the Tanglewood Music Festival received enthusiastic review in The New York Times and Boston Phoenix. Her release on Naxos, Digital Mist (8.559903), featuring works for violin and piano by George Tsontakis, Chen Yi and Sebastian and Nathan Currier, was noted as being ‘lively and authoritative’ (American Record Guide), having an ‘effective presence’ (The Strad), and ‘fresh, adventurous, and beguiling’ and ‘beautifully crafted and extremely sensitive’ (Fanfare).

Kiu Tung Poon graduated from Indiana University Bloomington and the University of Texas at Austin with a Doctor of Musical Arts in piano performance. She currently teaches at her alma mater, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, as a lecturer in performance, and serves as the performance stream coordinator in the Department of Music.
