Georgia Wang

Piano

“Georgia Wang is a musician of extraordinary quality and depth.” (John Perry) In performance, Georgia is “sincere with every moment so that every moment is new” (Henri-Paul Sicsic).

A student of life, Georgia is curious about diverse fields such as spirituality, psychology, philosophy, and the visual and literary arts. Exposure to the work of pianist Marek Jablonski, painter Tom Thomson, composer Franz Schubert, and many others have profoundly shaped her artistic sensibilities. Her poetry book, “Going and Being” was published in 2021, featuring poems from the beginning of high school to the beginning of university. Her artwork has been displayed in the Eaton Centre, on the Maison Birks’ Instagram page, at the TPL, and she gave presentations of her newly completed Visual Arts Symphony no. 1. Georgia strives to present visual art, poetry, and music in a way that is accessible and meaningful to both devoted fans and curious newcomers.

During her time at the Mason Gross School of the Arts (2019-2023), Georgia was honored to receive The Presser Foundation Undergraduate Award (2022), given to one student at the end of their junior year, and the Elizabeth Wyckoff Durham Award (2023), recognizing her musical and academic achievements. Previously, she was a national finalist in the 2017 and 2019 Canadian Music Competitions. At The Glenn Gould School (2023-2025), she worked extensively on chamber music, and was the accompanist for the Oscar Peterson School Choirs and the Bach Children’s Chorus. She continues to perform, give piano lessons, and is a piano accompanist for the BCC and inquiring musicians.

One morning in her hometown of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, seven-year-old Georgia woke up to find a small electronic piano beside the Christmas tree and, with the support of her parents, began lessons shortly thereafter. She is grateful to the piano teachers who have nurtured all aspects of her development, including Ms. Maureen Hollins. She has benefited from the insightful objectivity of Prof. David Louie, the compassionate and intuitive approach of Dr. Henri-Paul Sicsic, and the masterful guidance of Prof. John Perry.
