Dr. Shupeng Wang

Concert Pianist · Collaborative Artist · Educator

Born and raised in Taiwan, Shu-Peng Wang began studying piano during his childhood,

drawn to the instrument’s expressive power and architectural beauty. Over the years, that

curiosity evolved into a lifelong pursuit of artistry, leading him across the globe as a

performer, collaborator, and educator.

Dr. Wang earned his Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance from the University of

Houston, where he also served as assistant director of the AURA Contemporary

Ensemble. In that role, he immersed himself in the performance of cutting-edge new

music, working closely with faculty composers, guest artists, and advanced student

musicians. His doctoral research, Baroque Meets Jazz, explores the stylistic fusion in

Nikolai Kapustin’s Suite in the Old Style, reflecting his fascination with cross-genre

expression.

Wang’s performance career spans solo recitals, chamber music, and orchestral

appearances throughout the United States, Spain, and Taiwan. He has performed at

esteemed festivals including the Texas Music Festival, the International Keyboard

Institute Festival (New York), and the Valencia International Performing Arts Summer

Festival (Spain). As a collaborative pianist, he has worked with singers and instrumentalists across a wide range of repertoire, including fully staged productions with

the Boston University Opera Institute at the Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre and Joan &

Edgar Booth Theatre. His sensitivity and versatility at the keyboard continue to make him

a sought-after partner in both traditional and contemporary settings.

Dr. Wang is equally dedicated to teaching. Over the past decade, he has guided students

of various ages and backgrounds in private and group settings, including elementary

school keyboard classes and advanced pre-college instruction. Many of his students have

passed ABRSM exams with distinction and earned recognition in regional competitions.

His teaching philosophy emphasizes musical integrity, technical clarity, and a nurturing

environment where students can develop both skill and confidence.

With a deep commitment to collaborative music-making and student growth, Shu-Peng

Wang continues to balance performance and pedagogy with equal passion—sharing

music not only as a craft, but as a means of connection, expression, and transformation.
