About us
The Tan and See Piano Duo has been described as “emanating a sense of pure fun that is always infectious to audiences” and “They made the difficult look easy. I can’t imagine it getting any better for a duo” (CharlestonToday.net). Delighting audiences since 2010, Amy Tan and Chee-Hang See have been finalists of the International Web Concert Hall Competition and have performed in Italy, Singapore, Cleveland, Hawaii, Chicago, and all over South Carolina. They have been soloists with the College of Charleston Chamber Orchestra, Cleveland Institute of Music Chamber Orchestra, and were broadcast on South Carolina Public Radio.
In 2016, Amy and Chee-Hang received their Master's in Piano Performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where they studied with Olga Radosavljevich and Sandra Shapiro. Previously, they were awarded the SURF Grant from the College of Charleston, where they graduated with honors in 2012. They were recipients of the Edwin Davis Peacock Award and the John Zeigler Award for Excellence in Piano. They also received Artist Certificates in Piano Performance from the College while studying with Enrique Graf. Amy was an Edwin Davis Peacock and Virginia Zeigler Potter scholarship holder, and Chee-Hang was a Presidential Scholar. The two have participated in masterclasses and taken lessons from such renowned pianists as Stenzl Duo, Oleyuria Duo, the Aebersold-Neiweem Duo, DUO Stephanie and Saar, Olga Radosavljevich, Ilana Vered, Michael Lewin, Beatrice Long, and Sandra Shapiro. They have been faculty at the Charleston Academy of Music and Chicago Duo Piano Festival.
The pair who hails from neighboring countries of Malaysia and Singapore coincidentally shares the same birth date, albeit a year apart. Amy is currently faculty at the Aurora School of Music and Chee-Hang teaches at the Charleston Academy of Music.
