Music Festival Master Class Experience:
I have participated in numerous music festival masterclasses, including the 2023
Tianjin Juilliard Piano Arts Festival Masterclass, where international piano maestro Ari Vardi commented, “I really like your performance; you are very devoted
and enjoy the music. It’s evident that you love playing the piano, and you must have a fantastic teacher.” Professor Katarzyna Popowa-Zydro ń , a juror of the Chopin Competition, praised my balance between left and right hands and my nimble fingers.
In August 2023, I traveled to Europe to participate in the Todi International Piano Festival in Italy. There, I collaborated with an orchestra to perform Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto, receiving prolonged applause and acclaim from the audience.
Professor Antonio Pompa-Baldi, silver medalist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and head of the piano department at the Cleveland Institute of Music, highly praised my performance, noting my impressive technical level, maturity, musicality, and rapid adaptability.
Following this, I attended the International Masterclass in Radzieiowice, Poland, where Chopin Competition juror Ewa Poblocka complimented my interpretation of Beethoven’s sonatas. Professors Moutouzkine from Manhattan School of Music, Murray Mclachlan from Royal Northern College of Music, Peter Wass from Liszt Academy of Music, professors Perry from the University of Southern California, Tamas Ungar from Texas Christian University, and juror Yaroslav Yasinski from the Chopin Competition, all have given me unanimous praise.
