Toh Chee-Hung

Hailed by The Straits Times as ‘a flamboyant and passionate virtuoso who plays with her heart on her sleeve’, Toh Chee-Hung is a Singaporean pianist, pedagogue and educator who currently works and resides in London. Highly sought-after as a performer and lecturer, she has played recitals in Canada, Turkey, the U.S.A and around Europe, as well as recorded for radio and television in many countries, most notably for BBC Radio 3 and the BBC World Service.

Chee-Hung has also performed, taught masterclasses, and adjudicated at various piano festivals worldwide, including the Cambridge Piano Weekend, Canadian Music Competitions, and competitions organised by the Music Teachers Association of California.

Having won multiple prizes including top prize for piano performance at the Royal Academy of Music, London where she studied, she often returns to her birth country Singapore to perform as a soloist and chamber musician, and teach at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. One of her more memorable performances was in 2015, where she and her late husband Dennis Lee performed in a concert at Victoria Concert Hall as part of a series to commemorate Singapore’s 50th national day.

Before his passing, Dennis Lee often appeared with Toh Chee-Hung onstage as a duo, and their performances have been described by The Straits Times as one that ‘is incapable of making an ugly sound, their seamless teamwork born of decades of performing together and listening to each other.’
