Named a laureate of the Musique Antique Competition in Bruges (2024), Charlotte Tang is a historical and modern pianist who actively performs in Canada, the United States and Europe. Recent highlights include a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts, a fellowship at the Gilmore Piano Festival, as well as performances at the conferences of the Historical Keyboard Society of North America and the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies. 

Passionate about early 19th-century music, Charlotte's research studies the interactions between Schubert’s pedal indications and his quiet dynamics. She is a doctoral candidate in Piano Performance at the University of Toronto, generously supported by the Alice and Armen Matheson Graduate Scholarship, Guerrero Alberto Graduate Scholarship, Dina and Hosie Austin Graduate Piano Fellowship and the Nour Private Wealth Award. Before relocating to Canada, she had the privilege to study with Jeffrey Cohen at Manhattan School of Music and Roberto Plano at Indiana University Bloomington . She has also attended prestigious music festivals and benefited from master classes and coaching by Eric la Sage, Paul Lewis, Ronan O’Hora, Megumi Masaki, Anton Nel, Angela Chang, André Laplante, Logan Skelton, John Perry, Marina Lomazov, Charles Abramovic and Ian Hobson, among others. 

Concurrent to her modern piano studies at Indiana University, Charlotte focused on early 19th-century Viennese pianos and works by Schubert and Schumann under Prof. Elisabeth Wright. She is active in historical piano workshops and festivals, and has been coached by David Breitman, Malcolm Bilson, Andrew Willis, Audry Axinn, Maria Rose, Elizaveta Miller and Tuija Hakkila.

Charlotte is espeically passionate about the works by Schubert and Schumann. Her forthcoming dissertation dives into interactions between dynamics and pedal indications in Schubert's works, with specific discussion on the soft pedals. Charlotte hopes to contribute to the field by engaging the historical piano as a document and reference point in modern piano studies, that will create a broader musical perspective that transcends the scope and technique of individual keyboard instruments.
