  • Irish-born pianist Aidan has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in notable venues in the US (Carnegie Hall), UK (Wigmore Hall), Hong Kong (Hong Kong City Hall), Switzerland (Volkshaus Biel), China and across Ireland (the Freemasons Grand Lodge, the Hugh Lane Gallery and the National Concert Hall). As a concerto soloist he has performed with the DIT Sinfonia, as well as the Philharmonic Orchestra of Budweis.

    Aidan has won 90 prizes in competitions across Ireland that include 55 first prizes and special awards, including the main prize of €5000 at the 2016 Fr Frank Maher Classical Music Awards. Internationally, he has been a multiple prizewinner in competitions in the UK, Germany and Austria. In 2019, Aidan was recipient of the Trench Award and Audience Choice Prize in Ireland, becoming the first pianist and youngest finalist to do so.

    Having just completed his undergraduate studies with first class honours at the Royal College of Music in 2021, Aidan is continuing his studies there as a student on the Master of Music programme, as part of which he aims to further explore his East Asian diasporic identity as a performer of Western Classical Music.

    Aidan has been teaching piano professionally to students of all levels and ages, and considers it his responsibility as a music tutor to first and foremost cultivate in his students a love for the music and the instrument. His approach to teaching is inspired by great mentors he's been fortunate enough to learn with and as such, he strives to be as flexible as possible to suit the needs and motivations of students.
