Chang Shen, Accompanist

Born in Hong Kong, Chang received his musical training at Oberlin and Peabody Conservatories, and completed his graduate studies at Towson University in 2010. He teaches piano at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, and serves as music director at Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA.

In addition to teaching and performing as a pianist, he is also a bassoonist, composer and arranger. He worked many years as a dance accompanist, improvising for ballet and modern dance, and has recorded a large volume of original music for dance classes. When he is not involved in music, he enjoys spending time with his rescue dog, and hopes to one day start an organization that would provide foster homes exclusively for older dogs.
