German-Taiwanese pianist Marcel Tienhao Mok began playing the piano at age four. Trained in Stuttgart, Milan, and Paris, he completed his concert exam with highest distinction under Klaus Hellwig at Berlin’s University of the Arts. He is a prizewinner of numerous national and international competitions, including the WDR Classical Music Prize, the Köthen Bach Competition, and the Maria Ladenburger Award. Concert appearances have taken him across Europe, Asia, and Australia, with performances at major festivals and venues such as the Gewandhaus Leipzig, the Philharmonie Berlin, and the Dresden Frauenkirche. Mok is equally active as a soloist and chamber musician, with a growing focus on historical performance and music education. Since his student days, Mok has hardly studied any other work as frequently and intensively as Bach's Goldberg Variations BWV 988. It was therefore only logical not only to conclude his studies with this variation cycle, but also to make his recording debut with it. The result of this exploration absolutely proves him right!
