Subsequent awards include youngest-ever winner of the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition; first prize at the Concours de Genève; and first prize in the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Master Competition. As well as being an exceptional musician, Chen is an accomplished composer and has over 100 works to his name.
