Irene Long, pianist, passionate collaborator. Her performance span opera, ballet, orchestra, chamber music, choir, and musical theatre. Growing up in a family with architecture background, Irene developed a deep appreciation for design aesthetics. Perhaps influenced by the family architectural background, she views music much like constructing a building—no masterpiece is built in a day. Every note, like every brick, must be thoughtfully placed, and every detail meticulously designed.

Long won the First Prize at the Hong Kong International Invitation Competition in 2018 and Second Prize at the LZ International Piano Competition in 2021. She is also an advocate for new music, debuting a series of Chinese piano compositions at the Second China Music Arts Education Development Forum. As a Chinese-born artist, Long is passionate about introducing Chinese contemporary music to a global audience, enriching the international music landscape with her dynamic artistry.
