Kang-do spirit


Piano prodigy: Clarence Kang’s gift in music is like an untapped reservoir and his music teacher mother strives to find the best channels to develop his full potential. – CHUA KOK HWA/The Star

Clarence Kang is an autistic savant with an extraordinary talent in music.

BEGINNING with Frederic Chopin’s upliftingGrande Valse Brillante Op.34 No.3, Clarence Kang Zheng Wei plays fluidly, his fingers effortlessly caressing the keys of the white grand piano.

The strapping lad, looking handsome in his white long-sleeved shirt and black pants complete with a black vest, then performs the romanticLiebestraum by Franz Liszt.

Continuing to tickle the ivories with poise and confidence, he serenades us with the up-tempo Flight Of The Bumble Bee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and his favourite, C.P.E. Bach’s Solfeggietto.
