A prizewinner in international competitions—including first prize at the 2006 Khabarovsk International Piano Competition—and a graduate of Oberlin and the Boston Conservatory, he combines high-level performance credentials with proven pedagogy: many students have excelled in ABRSM exams, performed concerti with major orchestras, and matriculated to top universities. He has curated and managed chamber and concert programs at major venues from the Kennedy Center to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and organized impactful benefit concerts that delivered aid to Wuhan during the COVID-19 crisis. Equally comfortable on stage and behind the scenes, Cheng has held roles from concert production manager to chamber music manager, demonstrating both artistic vision and operational leadership. Based in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, he blends Western conservatory training and international performance experience to expand public music education in China.
