Biography
​Audrey Sung is a dedicated and warm-hearted 15-year-old emerging musician from Vancouver, currently attending Crofton House School. A gifted pianist with a passion for music and philanthropy, Audrey has been making waves in both the musical and charitable spheres from an early age. Since 2024, she has proudly served as the President of the NOVA (New, Outstanding, Virtuosic and Ascending individuals) Branch of the Pacific Rim International Music & Education Society (PRIME Society), a testament to her leadership and artistic excellence.
Audrey’s piano journey began at age six under the guidance of Steinway Artist and RCM Fellow Edward Han Jiang, whose emphasis on discipline and artistry shaped her foundational musicianship. During her time living in China, she studied with esteemed instructors including Ms. Eleanor Wong, Dr. Jacqueline Bei-Hua Tang and Professor Liu Shi Kun, later continuing her training in North America under Vladimir Viardo and Edward Jiang, each contributing to her nuanced interpretive style.
Early recognition of her talent came through prestigious international competitions: she earned the Gold Prize in the Junior Category of the Pacific Rim International Music Festival (PRM) and the "Tchaikovsky Memorial Award" at the International Youth Piano Concerto Competition. In 2019, her PRM victory led to a debut at New York’s Carnegie Hall, a milestone for any young artist. Two years later, she achieved the Associate of the Royal Schools of Music (ARSM) diploma, a testament to her advanced technical and expressive skills.
2024 marked a career highlight as Audrey performed at the 19th Vienna International Music Festival, delivering both a solo recital and a concerto at Vienna’s iconic Golden Hall of the Musikverein. Critics lauded her "uncommon sensitivity and precision," cementing her reputation across European stages and media.
Beyond music, Audrey’s commitment to social responsibility is deeply ingrained. At 10 years old, she actively supported COVID-19 relief efforts, distributing supplies in her community and donating personal funds to frontline organizations, an effort that earned her Hong Kong media’s title of "the Youngest Pandemic Star." In September 2022, she channeled her performance earnings into a $30,000 CAD donation to advance Canadian music education, a gesture spotlighted by CTV National News, CTV Vancouver, and Phoenix Satellite Television North America. Her vision aims to empower young musicians by breaking down barriers to training and performance opportunities.
Continuing this dual mission, Audrey was invited to perform a charity concert at Kasteel Duivenvoorde in the Netherlands in July 2024, raising €15,000 for Local-Heroes Netherlands’ Kenyan school development project. The event, celebrated by local media and philanthropic circles, exemplified her belief in music as a catalyst for global change.
With a rare blend of artistic maturity and compassionate leadership, Audrey Sung continues to inspire as both a virtuoso and a visionary, proving that excellence in music can harmonize seamlessly with a commitment to lifting others.
