Meng-Chieh Liu joined New England Conservatory's piano studio faculty in 2014.

Liu first made headlines in 1993 as a 21-year-old student at the Curtis Institute of Music, when he substituted for André Watts at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia with three hours’ notice. The concert earned high acclaim from critics and audience alike and was followed by a number of widely praised performances, including a recital at the Kennedy Center and a concert on the Philadelphia All-Star Series.

A dedicated chamber musician, as well as a solo artist, Liu has collaborated with musicians in North America, Europe, and Asia, in addition to working with artists in other disciplines, including dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and his White Oak Dance Project.
