Joshua Han

Australian-born pianist Joshua Han started his piano studies at the age of four. After winning his first gold in the Sydney Eisteddfod at the age of six, Joshua has achieved considerable success in the world of music.

In 2012, at 10 years old, Joshua received his LMusA and performed as soloist at the Iguazú en Concierto Festival in Argentina. The next year, he received Encouragement Prizes at both the 1st Korea International Piano Competition, and the Theme and Variations Inaugural Awards.

In 2014, Joshua won First Prize at the 14th Ettlingen International Competition for Young Pianists, achieving the highest mark at the time of 9.9/10 in the contest’s 28-year history. The following year, Joshua received First Prize, as well as Audience Prize at the 3rd Aarhus International Piano Competition.

Having won the 2016 BlueScope/WIN Network Open Age Piano Championships (Wollongong Eisteddfod), and receiving his Fellowship Recital Diploma (FTCL) that same year, Joshua took a sojourn of several years from piano performance.

Recently returning to the piano, Joshua was awarded Second Prize and Audience Prize in the National Section of the 2022 Australian Youth Classical Music Competition, as well as First Prize in the NSW Division of the 2MBS Fine Music Young Virtuoso Awards. He is currently studying piano performance with Dr Paul Rickard-Ford, whilst undertaking a Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Medicine double degree at the University of Sydney. Joshua’s ultimate intent is to combine music and medicine to heal and inspire.
