Chinese pianist Li Yundi will collaborate with Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra to present Chopin’s “Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11” and “Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 21.”

Born in Chongqing, Li is most well-known for being the youngest pianist to win the International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in 2000, at the age of 18, and for judging it in 2015. He studied at Shenzhen Arts School and Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media in Germany.

Li’s debut in the United States took place in June 2003 at Carnegie Hall, as part of Steinway and Sons’ 150th Anniversary Gala. Li’s second recording of Liszt for Deutsche Grammophon, for whom he exclusively recorded until November 2008, was released in August 2003 and was named “Best CD of the Year” by the New York Times. His third recording, comprising Chopin’s scherzi and impromptus, was released in late 2004.

The Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra is a Polish orchestra based in Warsaw. Founded in 1901, it is one of Poland’s oldest musical institutions. Between 1901 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939, several virtuosos regularly performed their works with the orchestra, including Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Saint-Saens and Stravinsky. Among the other luminaries who played with the orchestra were pianist Arthur Rubinstein, violinists Jascha Heifetz and Pablo de Sarasate and cellist Pablo Casals. The orchestra has played host to the Chopin International Piano Competition since the contest began in 1927, and also appeared at the inaugural Wieniawski International Violin Competition (1935) and Universal Festival of Polish Art (1937).
