“One person and a piano are all you need to create a world.”
– Chia-Chen – Pianist, composer, piano improvisation artist, music educator

In music we encounter a silent, infinite love.
In my classes I invite you to discover this world:
full of deep love, creativity and expression.
Together we will walk the path on which you yourself will become a creator.”

Biography:
I am a pianist, composer, and piano improvisational artist. Since 2025, I have been an artist in residence at the Starke Foundation in Berlin. In 2019, I received the Dr. Eva Maria Zbick Artists' Prize, and in 2023, I won the Global Music Awards Gold Medal for my album "Origin."
As a contract artist with Wind Music International Corporation, I have released eight CD albums and two EPs featuring live improvisations (improvised compositions) and original compositions. I have also received scholarships such as the DAAD Prize and the Deutschlandstipendium.
Born in Taoyuan, Taiwan, I moved to Germany at the age of 15 to study music and completed my concert exam at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media in 2022.
I move effortlessly between different artistic dimensions, unfettered by convention, and perform regularly internationally, including in Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Russia, the United States, and Taiwan. My performances range from solo recitals, such as Bach's Goldberg Variations at the National Concert Hall Taipei (2014), to concerts with orchestras, including Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the NDR Radio Philharmonic under Howard Griffiths (2015).
Since 2022, I've been giving live improvisation concerts that take audiences on spontaneous musical journeys. In 2022 alone, my improvisations reached over 30,000 listening hours on Spotify from more than 40,000 listeners worldwide.
My award-winning album Origin (2023) features compositions from 2019–2022. In 2024, my violin solo Shan Hai Ge was premiered at the Villa Elisabeth Berlin by violinist Qingzhu Weng.
In addition to music, I also work with words: poems, prose texts, and essays appear on my social media platforms.
