Artist Profiles

Michael Yeung, percussion

Winner of the 2023 Susan Wadsworth Young Concert Artist International Auditions, Michael Yeung is a unique percussion artist equally comfortable as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral performer, with his career taking him across the United States, Europe, and Asia. His upcoming solo recital debut at Carnegie Zankel Hall will take place in October and includes a wide repertoire of music from the Baroque to the 21st century. As a chamber musician, he has appeared with the internationally acclaimed Percussion Collective in the world-premiere of Argentinian composer Alejandro Viñao’s Poems and Prayers. His orchestral experience has included playing timpani with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, in the 33rd Castell de Peralada Festival in Barcelona, Spain.

A great believer in passing on knowledge, each summer Michael returns to his native Hong Kong to teach young students and curate multi-media percussion productions. Last summer, Michael also curated a series of concerts sponsored by TEDx in Shenzhen, the highlight of which was the Emmy Award-winning composer Garth Neustadter’s percussion sextet Seaborne, an audio-visual celebration of our endangered oceans.
