Ranked among the world’s top 30 pianists by the prestigious Van Cliburn Foundation in 2009, and the recipient of numerous honors and awards, Ms. Li performs regularly throughout North America, Europe and Asia. She has appeared at all three biggies – Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center – the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Ruïnekerk of Bergen in the Netherlands, Hong Kong City Hall, Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, among others. With huge audience appeal and breath-taking talent, she remains dedicated to inspiring audiences of all ages to develop a taste for classical music, a genre rarely heard by the youth of today.
