🎶 Welcome — I'm Vivienne ChuLiao
Jazz Pianist • Vocalist • Classical Pianist • Educator

Hi! I’m Vivienne ChuLiao — a jazz pianist and vocalist with a classical background. I currently work as the ballet pianist at Nederlands Dans Theater and as an accompanist and coach at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam.

My musical journey began in Taiwan, where I earned bachelor’s degrees in both classical piano and classical voice. After moving to the Netherlands, I followed my passion for jazz and completed a master’s degree in jazz piano at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.

As a performer, I’ve played across Europe in a variety of settings — from solo and small combos to large ensembles and interdisciplinary collaborations with dancers and choirs. Highlights include performances at Bimhuis (Amsterdam), De Doelen (Rotterdam), and appearances at several international jazz festivals.

While performing is a big part of my life, teaching has always been my passion. I’ve been teaching since 2007 and hold a formal teaching certificate. I’ve worked with students of all ages and levels, helping each one build confidence and discover their unique musical voice.
