Praised for his refined artistry, expressive depth, and versatile musicianship, pianist and opera coach Guhan Peng has established himself as a dynamic presence in both performance and pedagogy. Equally at home on the concert stage and in the rehearsal room, Peng’s work seamlessly bridges solo performance, collaborative piano, and opera coaching.

Currently pursuing the Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance and Literature at the Eastman School of Music, where he also serves as Teaching Assistant in Applied Piano and Opera Coaching, Peng has been deeply involved in the musical life of Eastman Opera Theatre. His collaborations encompass a wide range of repertoire—from Baroque to contemporary works—including Dialogues des Carmélites, Florencia en el Amazonas, Ainadamar, and Trial by Jury. His artistry has also brought him to projects with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Lewiston Artpark Festival / Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and Maryland Lyric Opera.

A devoted educator, Peng is committed to nurturing the next generation of musicians through his teaching at Eastman and his private piano studio. His students have gone on to study at leading conservatories such as the Manhattan School of Music, USC Thornton School of Music, and the Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music.

In addition to his academic work, Peng serves as Music Director of St. Timothy Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rochester, NY, where he leads the choir and curates the church’s musical programming with sensitivity and creativity. His performances have graced major venues across the United States, including Kodak Hall, Kilbourn Hall, and the Aspen Music Festival.

Peng holds degrees from the Peabody Conservatory of Music (Master of Music in Piano Performance) and the Manhattan School of Music (Bachelor of Music), and has studied with legendary artists Leon Fleisher, Marina Lomazov, Jeffery Cohen, and Marian Hahn.

Fluent in English and Cantonese, and proficient in Mandarin with working knowledge of German, French, and Italian, Peng brings a global artistic perspective to every collaboration. He is an active member of the College Music Society (CMS).
