MICHAEL CHEUNG

AGE 37  I  PARIS, FRANCE  I  FRANCE / CANADA
MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT – HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Calgary-born Michael Cheung started the piano as therapy for a congenital malformation of his left hand. His academic credentials are considerable: in addition to a BS from the University of Toronto in biological studies and psychology, and an MBA from ESCP Europe (Paris and London), he holds diplomas in piano from three European conservatories. A management consultant specializing in healthcare, he currently works for IQVIA in Paris, and concerts and amateur competitions have taken him across Europe and North America. Fluent in five languages, he’s also not lacking from other passions, listing travel, nature, film, photography, and events design among his interests. Michael has never been to Texas before and considers the Cliburn “a ‘mecca’ of amateur piano gatherings.”
