Gordon Giang, Violoncello

Gordon Giang is a 23-year-old ’cellist from Edmonton, Alberta. He is currently in his first year of doctoral studies under the tutelage of Yegor Dyachkov at the University of Montréal. He holds a Master of Music degree from the University of Montréal, as well as a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Alberta, where he studied with Rafael Hoekman.

Having previously collaborated in chamber ensembles with Guillaume Sutre, Juan-Miguel Hernandez, Robert Uchida, Marie Bégin, and Françoise Gnéri, it is evident that Mr. Giang has a strong passion for chamber music. Furthermore, he stands as a founding member of the Montréal-based Trio Miltenberg, where he partners with violinist Bailey Wantuch and pianist Mai Miyagaki. Most recently, the trio attended the Tuckamore Music Festival where they were also selected to participate in a post-festival concert tour of Newfoundland. The trio has also participated in Kyoko Hashimoto’s intensive International Music Workshop and Festival in Germany.

Mr. Giang’s attendance at various summer institutes such as Domaine Forget de Charlevoix, and Orford Musique has further developed his passion for chamber music; at these esteemed festivals, he has had the opportunity to work with world-renowned ’cellists including Johannes Moser, Andreas Brantelid, Amit Peled, and Natasha Brofsky, among others.

Mr. Giang is incredibly thankful for the generosity of the Edmonton Community Foundation and the Anne Burrows Music Foundation. Their continued support has enhanced his ability to pursue his artistic endeavours. In his time away from the ’cello, Mr. Giang enjoys cooking and sharing his culinary creations among his close-knit circle of friends.
