Biography
Conrad Tao is an American composer and pianist who performed violin and piano from childhood, earning early recognition at music festivals and competitions. Born June 11, 1994, Tao appeared on PBS's From the Top – Live from Carnegie Hall at age 13 as violinist, pianist, and composer. He accumulated eight consecutive ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards and secured major commissions from the New York Philharmonic, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony, and Dallas Symphony Orchestra. His honors include U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, Davidson Fellow Laureate, and Gilmore Foundation Young Artist designations. In 2011, Forbes named him the only classical artist on its "30 Under 30" music industry list. His discography spans classical and electronic genres: The Juilliard Sessions: Conrad Tao Plays Debussy and Stravinsky (2012) and the synthpop album Eyelids (2012) marked a genre pivot. He produced and hosted the UNPLAY Festival, a three-night music festival in New York City in 2013. Tao held artist-in-residence positions with Dallas Symphony Orchestra (2015/16) and Hong Kong Philharmonic (2017). As a Gemini born in June, Tao channels the sign's curiosity across multiple instruments and compositional styles. Composers create original music and often perform their own work; Tao's dual mastery of composition and performance distinguishes his career.
