Description: Hailed as a "gifted young artist" (Fanfare Magazine, USA), Singaporean pianist and composer Nicholas Ho has appeared throughout Asia and North America.

In 2006, Nicholas appeared in the Channel News Asia mini-documentary series, "Wonder Kids of Asia", and went on to have his concerto debut with Mozart's 14th Piano Concerto in 2007. He had subsequently made several concerto appearances with orchestras in Singapore, with works including Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto, Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, and the world premiere performance of Robert Casteel's Concerto pour piano et orchestra de chambre.
