About

“… an authentic artist with beautiful sensitivity and remarkable mastery”
Bertrand Boissard
from Diapason
“Kevin Chen achieves a result steeped in poetry and musicality. Simple, luminous, with an expressive modesty … Mastery of the phrase and the lines … greeted by a long and warm ovation”
Alain Cochard
from Concert Classic
“In Kevin’s hands, the genius of Chopin was at last revealed”
Christopher Axworthy
from Kevin Chen: A gentle
giant of humility and genius
Canadian pianist Kevin Chen has quickly established himself as one of the most distinctive voices of his generation, praised for his poetic sensitivity, natural eloquence, and remarkable technical command.
He is the first-prize winner of several consecutive international competitions. Most recently, in October 2025, Kevin won the Second Prize at the 19th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.
