About Me

“Chun-Syuan Wei brings sensitive, abundant emotions from the depths of his heart to every note, blissfully awaiting the chance to connect with the world.”— Amy H. Chiu, Author of Poetry Reborn, Seattle, USA

In addition to solo performance, Chun-Syuan has collaborated extensively with artists from other disciplines, embracing a broader vision of musical expression. In 2023, he worked closely with the Dance Department at Texas Woman’s University to present original works combining music and movement. As an advocate for new music, he has premiered compositions by Alvin Leung, Heather Pryse, Samuel A. Montgomery, and Sunny Gan. At the University of North Texas, he serves as both the orchestra pianist and chorale pianist, contributing to a wide range of ensemble performances.

Chun-Syuan was recently appointed as a Fine and Performing Arts Specialist at Dallas College, where he provides accompaniment for vocal students and college choir rehearsals and performances. His work supports both individual instruction and ensemble collaboration, enhancing the musical experiences of students across the department. Outside the U.S., he remains actively engaged with music education in Taiwan, offering lessons and outreach activities in schools across regions such as Taitung. These experiences reflect his continued commitment to education, cultural exchange, and artistic development. With a passion for both performance and teaching, Chun-Syuan is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of musicians. He seeks to deepen his own artistic voice while helping young artists discover theirs.
