Artistic Biography

I have been followed my music teacher to studying piano for over 10 years. I spent 2-3 hours practicing the piano every day. In the past ten years, I passed the piano examination of Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Grade 8, the highest level of the piano examination. I also participated in different competitions. My first piano competition was in the 3rd grade in my life and won the second prize at the municipal level. In the same year, I went to Qingdao to attend the final of the German Omuller International Piano Competition. In grade four, I won the third prize of the final of the International Youth Performing Arts Festival in Hong Kong. In the same year, I went to Los Angeles to participate in the Los Angeles International Cultural Exchange Arts Festival, where I played the Turkish March by Mozart and won the second prize. This was the first time for me to compete on the international stage with my peers. A year later, I went to Austria for a two-week summer music camp at the Graz Conservatory and was invited to give a public performance at the Graz Municipal Concert Hall. In 2021 and 2022, I participated in the Happiness China Piano Competition and won the national first prize and the municipal second prize of the Chopin International Piano Competition. Through these competitions, I improved my performance ability, and built self-confidence. I enjoyed the winning moments but I love sharing music with the public piano even more. In October 2021, I collaborated with Conductor Fan Tao's Symphony Orchestra for a public performance at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center with thousand of audience, and in January 2023, I shared the stage with the famous artist Song Siheng at the Shanghai Grand Theater by playing Por Una Cabeza. At school, I have joined the psychological drama club to support improvisational performance improvise accompaniment for plays for two years. Every one to two months, the club would give a public performance, ranging from the school stage to the TED stage. This gave me opportunities to create my own music based on public needs. The piano is my best friend for my entire childhood.a good partner for my growth. Whenever I sit in front of it, I feel free.
