Ting Luo is a pianist, composer, and multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the intimate and the expansive. Blending neoclassical, folk-inspired lyricism, and post-minimalist piano with cinematic textures and evocative soundscapes, her music creates emotionally resonant spaces for healing and deep reflection.
In this performance, she presents Green, a piano suite for healing, and new compositions including Paradox Without an End (2026, piano solo), Perfectly Imperfect (2026, piano and violin) and Cold City (2026, piano and violin). Through lyrical melodies, atmospheric layers, and subtle environmental sounds, Ting explores the paradox of maintaining inner sanctuary amid the city's relentless rhythms.
Ting also brings an improvised work in the tradition of John Cage's prepared piano — metal objects introduced into the instrument, transforming its voice into something unfamiliar and unexpectedly beautiful.

New Arts Collaboration
New Arts Collaboration is an interdisciplinary art project for sound and multimedia. NAC was curated by pianist
Ting Luo in 2020. NAC connects with artists from multi-disciplined fields, forming a strong bond for artists to collaborate with each other, including living composers, sound artists, visual artists and so on. In our vision, sound as a human expression could be formed and interacted freely and experimentally with other mediums including electronics, tape, visuals, music, etc.
