About
Born in Singapore, Elizabeth Goh is a classical pianist who is known not only for her sensitive pianism, but also her intellect and curiosity as an artist. Currently, she is a first-year Master student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam under the tutelage of David Kuyken, receiving generous support from the Jacques Vonk Fonds. There, she also studies contemporary repertoire with Ralph van Raat.
Previously, she studied in School of The Arts Singapore under Timothy Ku and Lim Yan, where she also received the Ngee Ann-Kongsi Scholarship for the full duration of her studies. In 2019 she was recipient of the SOTA-NAK Outstanding Young Artist Award for her excellence in leadership, academic and artistic excellence.
In 2018, Elizabeth debuted as a soloist with the Orchestra of the Music Makers (OMM) in Singapore, where she performed Poulenc’s Concerto for two pianos and orchestra and a year later, Gershwin’s Concerto in F. Elizabeth has won prizes in competitions such as 2nd prize in the Schimmel International Piano Competition (GER) and clinched 3rd prize in Vivace piano ensemble competition (SG). She has had masterclasses with renowned pianists and musicians such as Pascal Roge, Ralf Gothóni, Alexander Kandelaki, Janusz Olejniczak, Marc Danel and more.
Elizabeth performs actively in The Netherlands, as a soloist and chamber musician, in venues such as Muziegebouw aan ‘t IJ and TivoliVredenburg. She is currently part of the Zenith Trio with saxophonists Mafalda Oliveira and Ileana Termini.
A versatile pianist, her passion lies in bringing lesser-known repertoire to audiences at home and abroad. Since July 2023, she has been touring her project, “Rumah”, with soprano Madeline Saputra – a programme of Singaporean and Indonesian classical music which questions the meaning of home and identity.
Apart from piano, Elizabeth also pursues an interest in music research and poetry in her free time.
Elizabeth is thankful to the Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds for the loan of a Bösendorfer piano for the duration of her studies.
