About Her

As a Tillett Artist, Yuzhang Li debuted at the Wigmore Hall and King's Place shortly after her first UK appearance at the 2021 Leeds Piano Competition. After graduating top of her class at the Central Conservatory in China, she earned a full scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where she completed her master's degree with distinction. Yuzhang now performs actively across the UK and China and has embraced her new role as a researcher, having begun her PhD studies at the Royal Academy of Music.

Her distinctive musical character has gained wide recognition through active participation in competitions such as the Van Cliburn, Leeds, and Hilton Head, as well as top prizes garnered in other competitions such as the Grotrian and Wiesbaden Piano Competition. Her performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 with the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra was lauded by Maestro Lang-Lang and reviewed by Shenzhen News as 'a performance of remarkable composure and maturity, far exceeding our expectations'.

Yuzhang has received mentorship under Professor Jinsong Xian, Professor Danwen Wei, Professor Jiajia Shi, and Professor Ian Fountain, and is supervised by Professor Roderick Chadwick.
