Ruobing (Ru) Zhang is a multifaceted artist whose work spans the realms of piano, voice, musical theater, and martial arts, with numerous accolades across each domain. Ru’s impressive career has been built on a unique fusion of artistic expression, rigorous training, and diverse cultural influences. A dual-degree graduate of The Juilliard School, Ru earned both his Bachelor's (2020) and Master's (2022) degrees in Piano and Collaborative Piano, making him one of the most well-rounded and successful musicians of his time.

Ru’s artistry has earned him recognition as a pianist, singer, teacher, and musical theater director. At the age of 14, he took the stage to perform Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 at the World Piano Competition, where he won both First Place and the prestigious Grand Prize. That same year, he claimed First and Grand Prize again at the 2012 US Youth Talent and Art Competition.

A few years later, he recorded his debut classical piano album under China Record Corporation—the country's most celebrated label.

Ru's other credits include winning the Grand Prize of CulturalChina-WaterCube Chinese Songs Contest, and performing at a variety of prestigious venues: Feinstein's/54 Below, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Times Square Ball Drop.

As a teacher, Ru has trained both vocalists and pianists to reach their fullest potential. Many of his students have reached the Broadway stage and received acceptances to prestigious colleges. Currently, he serves as a visiting faculty member at The Juilliard School, where he instructs dancers in musical theater.

In his role as a musical theater director, Ru has worked with institutions such as City College Academy of the Arts and The Bronx Science and Technology Academy, where he music-directed productions of In the Heights (2018), Rent (2019), Mamma Mia (2021), and Once on This Island (2022) in New York City.

Whether on stage, in the classroom, or behind the scenes, Ru pushes the limits of music and performance, blending tradition and innovation in everything he does.
