I’ve seen to the ability of art, artists, and arts initiatives to create jobs and save lives, to empower individuals or entire marginalized and underprivileged populations, to perform small to monumental miracles of communication. Art is a powerful voice that can engage in difficult conversations, controversial debates, and express important messages during periods of divide and hardship. It can reach across time, languages, borders, and cultures to connect people and kindle a shared understanding. As Bernstein said, “Art can affect people so that they are changed – enriched, ennobled, encouraged – then they act in a way that may affect the course of events by the way they vote, behave, and think." 

Music can offer such simple yet profound gifts – a memory, a will, a feeling of peace or joy or passion or anguish, a moment of awe, curiosity, magic, of noticing, of understanding, of being understood, or just any feeling that allows us to be in touch with ourselves, with each other, and with the world around us. Those are the gifts I wish to share with as many individuals as I can reach. Sincere intentions and emotions will carry through. They will reach someone.

As a concert pianist, she has performed with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra, and received awards including the International Chopin Golden Ring Competition, the Canadian Music Competition, the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal of Performing Arts, and the Canada Graduate Scholarship. With the Kuma Trio and Z4 Quartet, Tong has performed at venues such as Salle Bourgie, Victoria Hall, Christ Church Cathedral, and presented outreach programs at schools, senior homes, and veteran hospitals during residencies at the Beijing Central Conservatory and the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance.

Tong has been involved in various social and entrepreneurial initiatives including the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Music for Food, New England Conservatory’s Community Partnerships and Performances Program, and In Concert for Cambodia. As a Lincoln Center Stage artist, she has performed educational chamber music concerts featuring a diverse range of genres onboard Holland America Line. As a founding member of the Montreal Musicians Collective, she has assisted the expansion of the Heritage Festival, a year-round concert series promoting works by queer, underrepresented, and marginalized composers. In fall of 2020, she performed in a series of solo and chamber concerts at the Lunenburg Academy’s Beethoven 250th Celebration Festival. This past summer of 2021, she performed at festivals and workshops in Italy, Germany, Belgium, and France including the Belcanto Festival, International Music Workshop and Festival, Orpheus Instituut, and Festival International de Musiques Universitaires.

Tong is actively exploring the role of the arts in relationship to nature, science, technology, culture, and society through a variety of creative projects. Her violin-piano duo, TAG Duo, debuted the concert, “Song of Praise”, which explores the complex and multidimensional elements that make up their identities as Chinese-Canadian immigrant musicians. Her piano duo, UTAU2, has premiered multimedia projects “Ghiblilane” and “Crossview”, which incorporate film, live electronics, poetry, and audience collaboration. Her fiction, poetry, artwork, and essays have been published in the newspaper “Penguin” and the academic journal “Hear Here!”, where she also served as co-editor. Her photo-narrative, “E-mote”, was published by the literary project “carte blanche” in Issue 39, “Anxiety”, and shortlisted for the 3Macs Prize from the Quebec Writers’ Federation. As Executive Director of the arts initiative, “Zenkora Studios”, Tong has led a multidisciplinary team of artists across the US and Canada to pursue innovative projects and produce multimedia orchestra concerts that illustrate the stories of an original fantasy universe.

In 2019, Tong was chosen as a winner of the International Music Competition "Concert Tours to China" to perform her solo recital program, “Homecoming”, at major concert halls across China. This project will feature new commissions by young Chinese composers and further encourage cultural exchange between east and west. As a 2021 Cohort of the Global Leaders Program, she collaborated with international partners to drive social change, develop innovative initiatives, and make sustainable impact on the community through music programs.

Tong’s mentors include Kyoko Hashimoto, Bruce Brubaker, and Boris Konovalov. She has studied and performed at music festivals across Europe, Canada, and the U.S., including the Siena Music Festival, Rome Music Festival, Mendelssohn Academy, Holland Music Sessions, Brevard Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, Orford Musique, PianoFest in the Hamptons, and Belcanto & Virtuoso. Tong received her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Piano Performance from the New England Conservatory and McGill University, where she is currently a Doctorate Fellow. Tong’s graduate research-performance project on “cuteness” as an aesthetic in Japan’s Studio Ghibli music was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. She continues to explore the subject of “cuteness” in kawaii metal, lo-fi, and classical music in her doctorate projects. Tong is the recipient of grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and Fonds de Recherche du Québec for the creation of a new multi-genre anime operetta, “Labyrinth of Tears”.

In 2022, Tong toured her multicultural program “The Story of Us 我们” in Lunenburg, Montreal, and Verbier, where she also participate in the Verbier Festival Academy’s Creative Project Residency and presented the children’s concert “My Neighbours Totoro and Claude!” and the role-playing game-themed concert “We’re Not Really Strangers”. In October, Tong together with co-founder Maitreyi Muralidharan launched the pilot season of the Windwood Music Festival, presenting a series of creative projects by international artists gathering in Airdrie, Alberta for a week-long residency to bring music to public spaces in ways that interact and coexist with these spaces and the people who occupy them, thus connecting the threads that build a sense of togetherness among all the elements within a community. In Fall 2022, Tong returned to Lunenburg to perform with the Verona Quartet, collaborated with Jazz pianist and improviser Uri Caine, and debuted a new solo recital project “Phantasiai and Mnemosyne”. Following Lunenburg, Tong spent a month working at La Napoule Arts Foundation in the South of France as a resident artist and held the performance, “Once Upon a Time in La Napoule”.

In April 2023, Tong toured with Duo Perdendosi their project, “Da Capo” across 6 cities in Eastern Canada and USA. The duo then completed a residency at the Lunenburg Academy of Music where they presented an project “Wanting to Start again” that addresses current environmental issues.
