Different from most pianists, An-Ting Chang has a special background. Graduating from the best university in Taiwan (National Taiwan University) in 2007, majoring in Chemistry and minoring in Drama Theatre, she then obtained Master of Music, Piano, at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM), London with Maud Hornsby Award.

She is now pursuing her PhD degree (performance practice) at RAM with the support of Taiwan Ministry of Education.
Chang’s concerts include performances in England, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Taiwan. Besides playing solo and chamber recitals, she regards concerts as creative works, and approaches them by combining her concerts with different media. Her creation of Concert Theatre was awarded the Grants for Arts from the Arts Council England in 2013 and she was featured by In Tune in BBC Radio 3 with an interview and live performance in 2012. Her current creative concert works include Concert with Multimedia: The Interpreters – A Poet’s Love (Germany, Taiwan) and Concert Theatre: 4.48 Psychosis, Webern’s and Gibbons Music (Sir Jack Lyons Theatre), Other People’s Gardens (Arcola Theatre) and Sonata Movements (Blue Elephant Theatre).
