Hailed as "a pianistic sensation" (Rhein-Zeitung, Germany), David Louie ranks among the foremost Canadian musicians of his generation. He has performed widely in Canada, the United States and Europe. A major prize winner at prestigious competitions — the CBC Radio Competition, Santander International Competition and the Sydney International Competition — David Louie made his New York debut under the auspices of the city's venerable Peoples' Symphony Concerts. He has appeared as soloist with orchestras including the Vancouver Symphony, National Arts Centre Orchestra of Canada, Gulbenkian Chamber Orchestra of Lisbon, and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London.

An accomplished chamber musician, David Louie is a member of ARC (Artists of the Royal Conservatory) and has recorded with the ensemble for SONY BMG Masterworks. ARC's debut album On the Threshold of Hope (RCA Red Seal) was praised by The New York Times and Gramophone (UK) and nominated for Juno and Grammy awards. A second album Right Through the Bone (RCA Red Seal) featuring music of Dutch composer Julius Röntgen was released in 2007. David Louie's recent performances with ARC include appearances in London, Rome, Warsaw, Budapest, New York, and Washington.

In addition to performances on modern piano, David Louie has an avid interest in Early Music as a harpsichordist, and is one of few keyboard artists to traverse traditional boundaries between period and modern performance. He has presented complete presentations of Bach's Goldberg Variations and The Well-Tempered Clavier at festivals in Canada and the United States.

Born in Prince George, David Louie began studying piano at the age of five with Loretta Zral and Linda Stobbe. At the age of thirteen he first performed with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra. As a Canada Council Arts Grant recipient, he later studied with Boris Zarankin and John Perry, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Southern California. A dedicated teacher with numerous successful and prize-winning students, he currently resides in Toronto and is Head of the Piano Department at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music.
