Hong Kong collaborative pianist
Johnny Pun (潘雋禮)
holds a Master of Performance in Piano with Distinction
from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and
graduated with First Class Honours from the Hong Kong
Baptist University Bachelor of Music Studies Programme.
He is a recipient of the Guildhall School Scholarship,

Since starting his path in piano
accompaniment at age 10 as school choir pianist at PLK
Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School, Johnny has partnered
with an array of instrumentalists and vocalists.
Notably, he has maintained a close partnership with Hong
Kong harmonica players since 2018, contributing to
numerous international prize-winning performances. At
the Germany World Harmonica Festival 2025, he
accompanied both Adult Group Solo Champions, Mr. Yip Tsz
Chung and Ms. Amanda Leung. His streak of success
continued across major Asian festivals, including
top-three placements across categories at the 10th
Taiwan Harmonica Music Festival and the 11th Seoul
International Harmonica Festival (SIHF) in 2025. Most
recently at the 12th SIHF in 2026, he accompanied the
Champion and 3rd-place winner of the Chromatic Solo
Adult Category, the Champion and 2nd-place winner of the
Chromatic Solo Elementary Category, and the Champion of
the Chromatic Solo Middle & High Category, who was also
awarded the prestigious Grand Prize Seoul Mayor Award.
Johnny’s recent international
performance engagements include a debut alongside
marimba artist Ernestina Leung at the Chengdu City
Concert Hall in January 2026, a three-city performance
tour in Estonia with Matthew Yip for the Pärnu Harmonica
Festival sponsored by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade
Office in London in June 2026, as well as performances
in South Korea in July and Belgium in August. Johnny’s
passion for collaborative music has enabled him to
perform in major cultural hubs worldwide, including
London (Milton Court Concert Hall), Sicily (Palazzo
Recupero-Cutore), Germany (Trossingen University of
Music), South Korea (Seoul City Hall and Plaza, Seoul
Sejong Centre, Seoul Yeongdeungpo Art Hall, Busan Cinema
Centre), and major venues across Hong Kong.
Beyond the stage, Johnny actively
fosters the local chamber music scene. He co-founded the
International Association of Collaborative Musicians,
organizing chamber series with musicians from the Hong
Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and HK Sinfonietta. In 2025,
the Association masterminded and organized the "Erik
Satie 100th Anniversary Piano Marathon," breaking the
Guinness World Record for the "Most musicians to play
the same piano in relay." A permanent jury member for
the Hong Kong Promotion of Performing Arts Festival and
the Hong Kong Arts Competition, Johnny was featured as a
guest speaker at the British Council’s 75th Anniversary
Reception. A frequent presence on air, he has been a
recurring guest on RTHK Radio 4’s Cantilena hosted by
Ms. Nancy Loo to share his international festival
triumphs and concert tours, and was featured on RTHK
Radio 3’s Music Next Door with Dr. Cherry Tsang and
Harry. His artistic endeavors have also been covered
across RTHK TV, TVB, i-Cable News, TDM Macau, the South
