Born in Amoy in 1997, young Chinese musician Niu Niu began performing at the age of six and was admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music at the age of eight. At nine, he signed a contract with EMI Records, making him the youngest pianist ever to join an international record label. At seventeen, he was admitted to the Juilliard School of Music in New York.
Niu Niu’s success in music is not only attributed to his talent but also his willingness to experiment. Since his first performance at Suntory Hall in Tokyo at the age of 12, Niu Niu has become one of the most popular Chinese pianists in Japan. In 2018, he participated in the production of NHK’s “Forest of Piano.” During the recent epidemic, he unveiled his original compositions “Hope” and “Thoughts.”
HKUSPACE is honored to invite Niu Niu to share his music life with us at this year’s School Open Day. He will also talk about his development in Japan in recent years.
