Jonathan Weng - Platinum Medalist - Youth Category - Piano (Canada)
Jonathan Weng, born in 2008, started playing the piano at the age of 4 and quickly developed a passion for it. He spent countless hours practising and perfecting his craft, and his hard work paid off. He has won numerous awards, grand prizes and scholarships in various Canadian music festivals and international piano competitions. Despite his youth, Jonathan was invited and performed at awards ceremonies in some of the world's most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York, as well as London, Paris, Vienna, and Orpheum Theatre Vancouver. Furthermore, Jonathan made his orchestral debut in Perugia, Italy in 2018. At the age of twelve and thirteen, Jonathan performed with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra at the Orpheum Theatre and felt honoured to be invited back to collaborate with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra as a guest artist.
Jonathan’s passion for music has also inspired him to compose his own pieces, showcasing his creativity and versatility as a musician. His music compositions have been performed by the Standing Wave ensemble, symphony orchestras, and professional musicians at the Sonic Boom Vancouver Pro Musica. In addition, one of Jonathan’s music compositions was awarded the “Second Degree Diploma” in the international Category at the Golden Key Music Festival in Vienna, Austria in 2018. Furthermore, as a winner of the Young Composer’s competition, Vancouver 2019, Jonathan‘s symphony orchestra work was performed by VAM Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to his piano playing, Jonathan also takes pleasure in playing the violin. He joined the VAM orchestra at the age of 7 as a violinist and has been an active member for 8 consecutive years until now.
As a matter of fact, music wasn't Jonathan's only passion. Despite his busy schedule of music lessons and orchestral rehearsals, Jonathan still finds time to pursue other interests. In his spare time, he also enjoys playing golf and practising taekwondo. He found that these activities helped him stay physically fit, mentally sharp, and focused which in turn helped him excel in his academics. Johnson remains humble and grateful for the opportunities he has been given. He continues to practice and perform regularly, always striving to improve his skills and share his love of music with others.
