Hailed by critics of his Carnegie Hall debut as having “thought through his approach to the finest of details and… executed with exact precision…”, Warren’s artistry has brought him to four continents, gracing stages of all sizes and forms and in collaboration with international artists and leading orchestras in Asia since appearing with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of six.

A first-prize winner of the 1995 Stravinsky Awards International Piano Competition and the Grand Prix Ivo Pogorelich, Warren is a Steinway and Naxos Recording Artist. His discography includes multiple acclaimed albums of solo and chamber music repertoire.
