The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto is delighted to organize and host the
CCC Toronto Piano Competition 2016 in recognition of our youth at the same time
affording them the opportunity to demonstrate their potential in the performance and
knowledge of classical music.
It is the organizer’s hope that the Competition will encourage students to learn from
each other and from evaluation by respected music adjudicators. It is further hoped
that it will be an incentive to the students to continue their pursuit of excellence.
The concept for a music festival originated with Youth Ambassadors Lang Ning Liu and
Lu Wang. Without their initiative, tenacity and sheer hard work, the competition might
have remained a pipe dream
We congratulate the members of our Youth in Motion team for upholding their promise by nurturing and paving the way for youth to showcase their talent now and in the
future, it is hoped some will go into a career in music.
Dr. Ming Tat Cheung
Chairman & President

It is a welcome endeavour by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater
Toronto to host the CCC Toronto Piano Competition 2016. The creation of the competition reflects the multicultural character of this
country.
It will play a critical role in the future of many aspiring young pianists. The participants will have a common goal: to excel through the
universal language of music.
Their talent and dedication must be nurtured. Therefore I believe
that this competition carries the mission to recognize their
potential and stimulate them to rise to the heights of their
capabilities.
It is my wish that this opportunity will prove a milestone on the
participants’ journey towards fulfilling their dreams.
