About
Mira Ma, hailing from Taiwan, is a pianist, educator, and composer. Her musical journey began under her mother's guidance, debuting at seven with a sonata and her own compositions. By twelve, she played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Taipei Century Symphony Orchestra. While classically rooted, Mira thrives on musical improvisation, a passion she imparts as an educator. Mira is a decorated musician, winning competitions like MTNA, Young Keyboard Artists Association, and the Heida Hermanns International Music Competition. She studied under Noretta Conci-Leech, the teaching assistant of legendary pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, and participated in the Leeds International Piano Competition in England. Chamber music is a profound interest for Mira, accompanying luminaries and serving as an artistic director for the 2013 Summer Chamber Music Series in New York. She's performed globally at esteemed venues and festivals, including the Kennedy Center and International Piano Masterclasses in Poland. Mira holds an Artist Diploma from Hartt School of Music, a Piano Pedagogy Certificate, and a Master’s Degree from the Manhattan School of Music, with further studies at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg. She's contributed her expertise to institutions like The Diller-Quaile School of Music and Marymount School in New York City. Currently, Mira remains active as a member of the Bachanalia Chamber Ensemble in Taipei, passionately continuing her journey in music.
