About
I am Jenny Q Chai, a concert pianist, interdisciplinary artist, and educator committed to pushing the boundaries of classical music. My work focuses on uncovering the hidden dialogues between centuries-old compositions and modern technological and artistic innovations. My performances often blend piano music with multimedia elements—ranging from artificial intelligence to wearable tech and visual art—offering audiences immersive and intellectually vibrant experiences. I have performed internationally and have been described by The New Yorker as “a pianist whose dazzling facility is matched by her deep musicality.” In addition to concertizing, I am passionate about music education and mentorship, serving in various capacities at institutions like Bard Conservatory, the Curtis Institute of Music, and Manhattan School of Music. I also founded the FaceArt Institute of Music to cultivate artistic excellence and entrepreneurial thinking among young musicians.
