Bowers Program Artist
Jessie Meng-Chieh Chiang
PercussionRecognized very young as a prodigious talent, percussionist Jessie Meng-Chieh Chiang first made her mark by winning the Taiwan National Marimba Competition. She later went on to the United States to continue her studies with the internationally recognized pedagogue Robert van Sice at the Yale School of Music, and at the Peabody Institute. Along with her numerous solo concerts, she is an accomplished chamber musician. She has performed throughout the United States with The Percussion Collective alongside some of today’s leading names in percussion. Her young career has included touring internationally with the Yale Percussion Group in China and Spain. Her artistry is thoughtful and engaging, paired with a natural stage presence that has established her as an emerging voice on the marimba.
She will join CMS’s Bowers Program in fall 2027.
