George Li

This event replaces the performance of Joyce Yang. If you already have tickets to Joyce Yang, there’s no need to make any changes — your tickets will be honored for the George Li performance. For other options, visit the Joyce Yang page.

Praised by The Washington Post for combining “staggering technical prowess, a sense of command and depth of expression,” pianist George Li possesses an effortless grace, brilliant technique and poised authority far beyond his years. A silver medalist at the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition, Li has established a major international reputation with performances on the world’s most prestigious stages. For his return to Meany, Li performs works by Chopin, Ravel and Stravinsky.

Breathtaking virtuosity and natural grace.
— Le Télégramme
