Rosy Ge – Edmonton, AB

Exciting, imaginative, genuine, free, risk-taking and dramatic…these are just some words used to express Rosy Ge’s wonderful playing. Described by many as a pianist with enormous potential, Ms. Ge has won numerous prizes and scholarships both locally and nationally. In the summer of 2005, she played with the Alberta Philharmonic Orchestra as a prize for winning the Canadian Music Competition and in 2006, Ms. Ge became the only Chinese recipient of the prestigious Developing Artist Grant given by The Hnatyshyn Foundation (a private charity established by the late Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn, Canada’s twenty-fourth Governor General).

Born in 1989, Rosy Ge grew up in a very musical and began piano lessons with her grandmother, a well-known piano professor, at the age of four. Ms. Ge and her family moved to Canada in 1999 on her 10th birthday. She studied with Wolfram Linnebach at the Strathcona Conservatory of Music and then went on to study with Dr. Patricia Tao at the University of Alberta. To broaden her musical horizons, Ms. Ge took lessons with Hung-Kuan Chen in Calgary. She also participated in master classes given by renowned teachers/pianists as Dan Zhaoyi and Antonio Pompabaldi. Ms. Ge is currently a junior pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree with Angela Cheng at the Oberlin Conservatory.
