Nicole Wang was born in Chendu, China and won First Prize of the China National Piano Competition for Young Artists when she was only six years old. She has won numerous International awards, including First Prize in the Greenwich Symphony Scholarship Competition and the Warminster, Pottstown, and Hershey Symphony Competitions. She earned First Prize honors in the Dorothy A. Anderson International Piano Competition as well as the Director's Award for the Outstanding Performance of Scarlatti Sonatas. Some of her other awards include: First Prize in Helen Crowe Snelling Memorial Piano Competition for four consecutive years, Grand Prize of the Chiang Wen-Yeh International Piano Competition, and awards in the 22nd Bartok-Kabalevsky-Prokofiev International Piano Competition & Festival.

In 2004, Nicole was invited to perform at the Radio Station of Philadelphia for the Peace Piano World Tour Convention sponsored by Jacob Music and Steinway and Sons. She has been on numerous jury panels for piano competitions and often returns to China to perform concert tours.

She has studied with distinguished concert artists including: Bela Siki, a pupil of legendary pianists such as Leo Weiner, Dinu Lipatti and Ernst von Dohnanyni; Phillip Kawin; Alexander Fiorillo, who is a pupil of the "Golden Age" pianist, Vladmir Horowitz.

Nicole continues to tour around the country and play concerts in China, but when she is not touring, she teaches piano in her private studio for children of all ages and all levels. She finds it rewarding to guide the children into being well-rounded artists and to watch them grow to reach their goals.

Individual tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. All tickets are general admission. Doors open 30 minutes before performances begin.
