Innovative Percussion, Inc. is
excited to welcome Pius Cheung to its family of world renowned performing
artists! Currently serving as Assistant Professor of Percussion at
the University of Oregon, Dr. Pius Cheung is widely known as a master soloist
on marimba. His brilliant CD of Bach's Goldberg
Variations elicited a feature story in The New York Times, which
praised not only the technical feat of performing the intricacies of this
keyboard work with 4 mallets, but also expressed admiration for his "deeply
expressive interpretation, notable for its clear voicing, eloquent phrasing and
wide range of color and dynamics." The CD has been broadcast throughout
the US and Canada on NPR and CBC Radio. After winning the 2008 Young
Concert Artists International Auditions, Mr. Cheung made his New York solo
recital debut in the Young Concert Artists Series at Carnegie's Zankel Hall,
his Kennedy Center debut in Washington, DC, and at the Isabella Stewart Gardner
Museum in Boston. As a recipient of the Usedom Music Festival Prize, he was
invited to perform at that Festival in Germany. For more information on
