hen George Li in 2015 won the silver medal in the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, it catapulted the young pianist to international fame. His recording of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Vasily Petrenko, resulted in an album that the New York Times called a “real revelation.”
Now is your chance to hear Li perform in Fresno. I‘m giving away two pairs of tickets to Li’s upcoming appearance with the Philip Lorenz International Keyboard Concerts series. He performs 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 7, at the Fresno State Concert Hall.
Li continues to perform around the world. He is scheduled to appear later in 2024 with the San Francisco Symphony.
