Judah Williams
A pianist-composer who is exploring the merger of traditional classicism, wondrous
impressionism and contemporary sound within his work. An alumnus of the Young Artist Collegiate
Program at Vancouver Academy of Music, he is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music Degree in piano
and composition at the University of British Columbia.
From a young age, Judah has been an active performer and composer at music festivals in BC. In 2023,
he performed at Carnegie Hall Weil Recital Hall and the Cremona International Music Festival, where he
received Best Performance of a Modern Work for his composition for piano, Spearheaded Pines.
Judah’s work has been performed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (Jean Coulthard Readings
2025, 2023), Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Victoria Symphony musicians and the Standing Wave
Ensemble. He is a SOCAN Young Composer Award Recipient.
Judah was honoured to perform his composition, Way of Living, with the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra
at the CSO Piano Extravaganza 2024 and is excited to rejoin the CSO for the Piano Extravaganza 2025.
