Lixin is a brilliant Christchurch pianist who is currently attending Yale University and studying towards his Masters in Music. It is wonderful to welcome him back to the Great Hall stage. He is one of your favourite performers so please book ahead for this.
Home briefly from Yale, Lixin will be presenting a programme of French Music before he jets off to Paris to perform. There will be Debussy, Ravel and Bach (his Overture in the French Style) featured in the programme.
Lixin has had a busy year performing, studying, teaching, and adding more accolades to his impressive list of achievements. He recently received the prestigious Elizabeth Parisot Prize, awarded to outstanding pianists at the Yale School of Music, and was appointed a Teaching Assistant for a graduate-level course, working alongside professors to teach master’s students – his peers. He has also been teaching undergraduate piano students at Yale.
A long-time favourite of this lunchtime concert series, Lixin has been performing in it since intermediate school and has built a loyal following within the Christchurch community.
