Celebrated for her brilliant technique, tonal beauty and superb musicianship, Cheng’s remarkable gifts embrace an extensive keyboard repertoire including solo, chamber music, and piano concertos. She has played with virtually every orchestra in Canada, and across the US and abroad. A noted recitalist, she also performs in collaboration with numerous ensembles such as the Takács, Colorado and Vogler string quartets.
In 2009, Cheng was invited to join the (Pinchas) Zukerman Chamber Players and every season since then, has toured with the ensemble to prestigious stages in Europe, China, the US and South America. She also performs frequently with Zukerman in recital.
Cheng is a dedicated music educator. She conducts master classes around the world and is an associate professor of piano at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio.
