Niu Niu

Niu Niu is a pianist who was a child prodigy, taking up the piano at age three and giving his first performance at six. He has made the transition to an adult career, recording albums for several major labels. Niu Niu was born July 11, 1997, in Xiamen in China's Fujian province. His birth name is Zhang Shengliang; Niu Niu is a nickname meaning Little Ox, derived from his birth in the Year of the Ox. He took his first lessons from his father, and at his debut recital, he performed a Mozart sonata and a Chopin etude. At eight, Niu Niu enrolled at the Shanghai Conservatory, where he was the school's youngest student in history. At ten, he moved to Massachusetts to become a student of Hung-Kuan Chen at the New England Conservatory, also taking regular high school courses at the Walnut Hill Academy. Niu Niu's professional career began in 2006 when he performed at Wigmore Hall in London; the following year, he performed the Shostakovich Concerto for piano, trumpet, and orchestra, Op. 35, in London, with Prince Charles in the audience. He gave a recital at Suntory Hall in Tokyo in 2009, becoming the youngest performer ever to appear there, and in 2010, he was the youngest-ever winner of the PRIX Montblanc Award. The winner of the first Artemisia Foundation prize in 2012, he appeared at Jordan Hall in Boston and Sprague Hall at Yale University. Other career highlights include dubbing the piano performance of manga character Wei Pang in the Japanese NHK network's animated version of Piano no Mori ("Forest of Piano") in 2018 and 2019. His post-pandemic plans for 2021 included a Japanese tour, followed by a world tour in 2021 and 2022. Niu Niu's recording career has been as precocious as his performances. It began in 2007, when he was signed to the EMI label and recorded the album Niu Niu Plays Mozart, released the following year. Niu Niu issued an album of Liszt transcriptions on EMI in 2013, followed by several other albums. In 2018, he moved to the Decca label for a recital of works by Liszt, Chopin, Schubert, and Mendelssohn, and he returned with the album Beethoven: Fate & Hope, featuring Beethoven sonatas and the Liszt transcription of the Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, in 2021.
