Taiwanese-born pianist Gloria Chien has one of the most diverse musical lives as a noted performer, concert presenter, and educator. She made her orchestral debut at the age of sixteen with the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Thomas Dausgaard, and she performed again with the BSO with Keith Lockhart. She was subsequently selected by the The Boston Globe as one of its Superior Pianists of the year, “who appears to excel in everything.” Gloria is the founding Artistic Director at String Theory, a premier chamber music series in Chattanooga, TN. Together with her husband, violinist Soovin Kim, they are Artistic Directors at Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, OR, and Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival in Burlington, VT.
