Working with acclaimed conductors such as as Fabio Mechetti, Michael Christie, Piero Bellugi and Tobias Ringborg, he has performed concerti by Prokofieff, Mozart, Grieg, Stravinsky, Hindemith and Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff. The New Zealand Herald critic William Dart wrote of his performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Auckland Philharmonia: “Henry Wong Doe took on its many challenges with eases, totally unruffled by glittering passagework and bringing just the right heft to forests of chords. There was admirable restraint in the Adagio Sostenuto”. In the United States, Henry was invited to perform Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

An avid performer of contemporary music, Henry’s debut performance at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in 2008 featured solo and interactive works for piano and computer-controlled piano. Performing on a Yamaha Disklavier Mark IV, the program included the pioneering 1989 interactive work Eight Sketches – duet for one pianist by Jean-Claude Risset as well as a newly composed interactive work by New York based composed Brendan Adamson. An equally passionate supporter of new music from New Zealand, both his 2008 and 2012 recitals at Weill Recital Hall featured solo and chamber works by composer Gareth Farr.

A passionate educator as well as performer, Henry Wong Doe serves on the music faculty as Professor of Piano and Keyboard Area Chair at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Henry will also be releasing his first solo and chamber recordings for the Madrid based label HR Recordings in 2022.
