“Duo Ping & Ting reacted precisely and harmonically together with a matching of sound in an unbelievable manner” by South German Post. Their performance was exalted by the South West Post of Germany, “There is no trace of showing off, instead a deep immersion in the content of the work, a charming change between rhythmic sharpening and soft sliding.”
The twins Chau Lok Ping and Chau Lok Ting gained a wide recognition of their finest musicality and the fascinating matches of sound. The duo was top prize winners of several international competitions, including the 64th ARD International Music Competition in Munich, the Fourth International Piano Duo Competition in Bialystok, the Fourth San Marino International Piano Duo Competition and the Grieg A Deux International Two Piano Competition. In addition, they were awarded the André Hoffmann Prize at the renowned Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad International Music Festival in Switzerland. The Secretary for Home Affairs awarded commendations to the Chau sisters for making outstanding contribution in international arts and culture activities.
They were often invited to music festivals worldwide including the Liesborner Chamber Music Festival in Germany, the First International Gedánsk Piano Duo Festival in Poland, the 40th Hong Kong Arts Festival, the Joy of Music Festival in Hong Kong and the Fifth Gulangyu Piano Festival in Xiamen, the Mainland; and collaborated with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the New Zurich Orchestra, the Bialystok Symphony Orchestra, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. They have made successful appearances at Miami in the United States, Hannover in Germany, Vienna in Austria, Ljubljana in Slovenia, Bratislava in Slovakia, Gstaad and Kultur Casino Bern in Switzerland, Herkulessaal and Prinzregententheater in Munich, and Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Israel.
The twins received their Master degrees in Hochschule für Musik Theater und Medien in Hannover, Germany and The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. They were recipients of the German DAAD Scholarship, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Music and Dance Fund, as well as the Robert N.H. Ho Family Foundation for Outstanding Merits respectively. Their teachers and mentor widely included Eleanor Wong, Alexander Tamir, duo Genova and Dimitrov and duo Yaara Tal and Andreas Groethuysen.
