Mo Cheung-yu 毛翔宇

Cheung-yu Mo is a pianist noted for the poetry, passion and panache of his art. Following his concerto debut in Cleveland's Severance Hall and recital debut in Hong Kong City Hall, he emerged as one of Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland's most intriguing pianistic voices. His critically-acclaimed recordings include: Pianistic Musings I & II, consisting of works by Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, various Spanish composers, as well as the world-premiere recording of Cui Shi-Guang's Liu Tian-Hua Impromptus (2000); "Brahms Piano Sonata No. 3 & Klavierstücke Op 76", "Schumann Davidsbündlertänze & Waldszenen"; as well as "Schumann Piano Sonata No. 1 & Fantasie in C". In 2017, he gave a number of commemorative recitals with violinist Ning Feng, performing the exact programs of David Oistrakh's historic tour of China in 1957. His latest recording with violinist Bin Huang features violin sonatas by Richard Strauss and Ottorino Respighi.

Mo studied at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and the Juilliard School, from which he received a Doctorate of Musical Arts. He is professor in the piano department at the Shangha Conservatory of Music, where he also serves as a doctoral studies advisor, and Director of Pedagogical Research.
