After training in his homeland, William Ching-Yi Wei went on in 2012 to studies, in which he is still engaged, at the Juilliard School in New York, under Kang Hyo and Lee I-Hao. In 2012, he won the Taiwan National Competition; he went on to win the Thomas and Evon Cooper International Competition in Cleveland in 2013, which gave him an opportunity to perform with the Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall.
