Hi, my name is Jason Gong and I'm a pianist and cellist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I provide services as:
Solo: Piano | Cello
Duo: Piano Violin | Piano Cello | Cello Violin
String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola, Cello)
I perform for weddings, dinners, birthdays, ceremonies, graduations, recordings, retirement homes, etc. I also teach piano and cello privately and accompany instrumentalists, singers, musical theater, and choral groups.
In addition to classical styles I also play a lot of pop, rock, and other contemporary styles! I love to improvise, I play by ear, and I'm also a very strong sight-reader.
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to connecting with you!
Jason knocked our Holiday corporate party out of the park!! He worked with me on prep for the party in a very streamlined manner. We organized our set lists - one for holiday music and one for live piano Karaoke. Jason was able to record the 10 live karaoke songs ahead of time for our employee talent to rehearse prior to the event. What an incredible experience to have our team put on a show with such an incredibly talented Pianist. I would highly recommend Jason for any event - his playing style is artful, fluid and extremely inspiring.
I enjoyed working with him on coordinating the event - he was very responsive and easy to work with.
Jason did a wonderful job performing all the music we had asked for on both the cello and keyboard. I would highly recommend Jason for any occasion.
Jason was a great pianist and was able to play all of the songs that we requested for our wedding and they were played very well. Our one complaint is that we were told that he would bring a microphone for us to use for the ceremony, but he did not. Everything else was great!
You sounded great! I am sorry I never got to introduce myself, I'm sure you know how crazy weddings can be with all the pictures and time lines. Thank you for making my ceremony sounds so wonderful.
Jason was wonderful to work with! Very kind and professional. I sent him a list of songs for my ceremony and cocktail hour and he knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend!
Jason was very easy to work with and played amazingly!
Jason arrived as planned and performed a wonderful show- as a Mother's day gift for Mom. Great communication prior to event- was open to our requests- and put on a superb performance. Was informative throughout the show on the music , artists- style etc- and he is a wonderful young man. Would highly recommend. T Great Job!!
Jason was awesome. I will use him again.
I appreciated the communication from beginning to end of this project. Jason is a wonderful talent and my project turned out great!
Jason did a wonderful job playing for the Holiday party we hosted. All of our guests loved the entertainment!
Jason provided a great vibe for our holiday party. He played a variety of holiday songs and standards. He was a welcome addition to our annual gathering and our guests really enjoyed hearing live music and interacting with him. He was professional, cheerful, and accommodated my musical requests.
Jason set up early, and played excellently on the piano and cello for our event. He communicated well and responded quickly to questions before the event. Highly recommend him.
Jason did an amazing job playing at our wedding ceremony and reception. We utilized his talents as a cellist and a pianist. He was accommodating to our music choices and even made recommendations that we loved. He went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect for us and it was! We continue to get compliments about the music he played. We could not have asked for a better musician! Thank you Jason!
Jason played for a very important annual event in honor of my cherished deceased father, Calvin E. Sturdivant. He played brilliantly and helped to fill some of the more awkward moments in the program. When we started playing a family trivia game; Jason instinctively started to play the theme from, Jeopardy! There is a quiet dignity about Jason. He Never left the piano for the whole 2 hours. We ran over and he did not get an attitude. My family was very well pleased with his skill and we gave him a standing ovation. Our program next year is 2/9/2020- and if he is available, the gig is his.... truly a gifted piano player. We got our monies worth and more.
Jason was great. He arrived on time, was very polite and played excellent. I would hire him again.
Price Range: Please contact for rates.
Gig Length: 30 - 240 minutes
Languages: Chinese, English, French
I provide services both as a solo artist and as chamber groups including

For any duo/quartet bookings, I will handle all communication and logistics with the other performers. I invite clients to be as involved as they would like in the planning process. If there is specific music you have in mind I'd love to make your vision happen, and if not I'd be happy to take the lead on that discussion and curate a playlist tailored for you and your event.
Jason is an international pianist, cellist, and music educator from Michigan. He received his MPerf in Piano Performance at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and his BMus in piano performance at the University of Michigan. He has performed on his own and with other musicians around the world, in places like England, Portugal, the Czech Republic, and the United States.
Locally, Jason works with many musicians in the University of Michigan as well as individuals and private studios around Washtenaw, Wayne, and Oakland counties. In addition, he has worked and performed with many chamber groups and orchestras such as the UM University Choir, MUSKET, Detroit Symphony Orchestra Civic Ensemble, the Panache Group, Cellochan, Mosaic Youth Theatre, and Seaway Chorale and Orchestra.
