Piano Masterclasses With Siqian Li

International concert pianist and renowned teacher SIQIAN LI returns to Lancaster Music Festival to facilitate a masterclass with young pianists. Siqian will lead four pupils through 30-minute public sessions to work on a piece, movement or section as part of our LMF Academy.

The sessions will take place on the Yamaha Grand Piano in the Main Hall at Lancaster Girls Grammar School which Siqian nominated as her favourite of the nine pianos she played on her piano odyssey around Lancaster last year.

A ‘rising star of the piano’, Chinese pianist SIQIAN LI brings elegance, dynamism and exceptional musical quality to her performances. Commended for her ‘virtuosity and talent’ (Annecy Classic Festival), her ‘huge emotional range and effortless pianistic control’ (Paul Lewis CBE), and her ‘graceful and touching’ approach (Emanuel Ax), Siqian has appeared in concerts and recitals at international concert halls around the world, including the Bridgewater Hall, Beijing Forbidden City Concert Hall, Tokyo Ginza Yamaha Concert Hall, Cairo’s Arabic Music Institute and Boston’s Jordan Hall.

This event has been made possible by funding from the Marchus Trust and the Radcliffe Trust.
