Tien Yeung, Director

Tien has been playing and teaching music his whole life. He began studying classical piano at the age of five, while learning trumpet, saxophone, guitar, and drums throughout grade school. At the age of 17, he began a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at York University, where the focus was jazz piano. In his second year, he picked up a doublebass and by the end of the year, he was performing professionally on both instruments.

After completing his B.F.A., he worked as a freelance professional musician, often traveling around the world playing in various ensembles. Years later, Tien was accepted to the Masters of Music program at Rutgers University in New Jersey, this time studying jazz doublebass. During that time, he had the fortune of playing a televised concert with the legendary Ray Charles.

Tien can be found playing with numerous ensembles and artists including The Chris Hunt Tentet, Aria Tesolin, Project Megaman, Le Phunk, LEO37, Nature Boy, Andy de Campos, Matt Dusk, Colin Hunter (owner of Sunwing Travel Group), The Toronto Jazz Orchestra (TJO), The Rock n’ Roll Revue, and Anthony Terpstra. He has also performed with jazz greats Conrad Herwig, Bob Brough, Robi Botos, and Terry Clarke, as well as international artists Frances Yip  (葉麗儀), Joe Junior (祖·尊尼亞), Maria Cordero, Johnny Ip, John Davidson (That’s Incredble!), and Italian chart-topper Renato Pagliari.
