About Yuzhang Li: 

24-year-old Chinese Pianist Yuzhang Li was one of the ten semi-finalists in the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2021 and a Medallist in the Hilton Head International Piano Competition in 2022. Her performance of Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 with Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra after winning the First Prize in Futian Cup Piano Competition was highly praised by Maestro Lang Lang, and reviewed by Shenzhen News as ‘A performance of such composed manner and maturity that exceedingly surpassed our expectation’.

At the age of 14, Yuzhang performed a full set of Etude Tableaux by Rachmaninov in her first Recital. Now as a concert pianist, Yuzhang performs in Europe and Asia extensively. Her major performance engagements included concerts at the Wigmore Hall, Royal Academy of Music, and Steinway Hall in UK, Bechstein KONZERTFLÜGEL in Germany, Yongsan Concert Hall in South Korea, and Central Conservatory, Sichuan Conservatory, Shenzhen Concert Hall, and HUAFA Performance Theatre in China.

She has received recognitions from other competitions throughout the years and collected some top prizes, including the second prize in the Steinway Piano Competition in 2019, the second prize in the “Grotrian” International Piano Competition in 2017, and the Special Performance Award in the Wiesbaden International Piano Competition in 2016.

Scholarships and titles she garnered also indicated her all-round development in musical life. In 2019, Yuzhang was awarded the China National Scholarship, recognising her outstanding performance in both artistic and academic spheres. She received a full scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music and was named an ABRSM Scholar in 2021. Now, her new identity as a Tillett Debut Artist since 2023 has added another layer of sophistication to her journey.

Yuzhang was admitted with the best mark to the Central Conservatory in China in 2017, studying With Professor Danwen Wei and Professor Jiajia Shi. After graduating at the top of the class in 2021, Yuzhang started studying with Professor Ian Fountain at the Royal Academy of Music, where she has now commenced her doctoral studies.
