Hailed by The Straits Times as a musician with “superb pianism… a wonderful sense of colour and impeccably

graduate of St. Paul’s Co-educational College, Royal Academy of Music and Yale School of Music, Warren was the
first-prize winner of the Stravinsky Awards International Piano Competition and the Grand Prix Ivo Pogorelich in
1995. His artistry has brought him to four continents, gracing stages of all sizes and forms and in collaboration with
international artists and leading orchestras in Asia. His recordings for Universal Music (Hong Kong) and Naxos have
garnered favourable reviews worldwide.
A Steinway Artist as well as an award-winning and internationally published composer, Warren received the Ten
Outstanding Young Persons Award in Hong Kong in 2012 and was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of
Music in 2015 for his contribution to the music profession.
