Leslie Tung:

Leslie Tung has been praised for his "sense of history, combined with skill and heart" (Stereophile), "artistic courage and conspicuous energy" (Indianapolis Star), and performances "unequivocally amiable and engaging, full of verve, energy, and rhythmically both vibrant and elastic...stylistically informed and technically brilliant" (American Record Guide).

He has appeared as recitalist and soloist with orchestras in Europe and Asia, and at over 30 colleges and universities. Leslie holds a degree in Sociology from Yale University. He studied piano under John Kirkpatrick. Graduate piano studies followed under Barry Snyder (Eastman School) and later with both Brooks Smith and John Perry at the University of Southern California.

He is currently Professor of Music at Kalamazoo College in Michigan (USA).
