These concerts are George Li's debut with the North Carolina Symphony.

Pianist George Li has been praised by the Washington Post for combining “staggering technical prowess, a sense of command and depth of expression.” Since winning the Silver Medal at the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition, he has rapidly established a major international reputation and performs regularly with some of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors.

Recent and upcoming concerto highlights include performances with the Los Angeles, New York, and Oslo philharmonics and the philharmonic orchestras of London, Rotterdam, and St. Petersburg; San Francisco Symphony; the symphony orchestras of Tokyo, Sydney, and Montreal; as well as the Philharmonia Orchestra, DSO Berlin, Orchestre National de Lyon, and Mariinsky Orchestra.

In recital, Li performs at venues including Carnegie Hall, Davies Hall in San Francisco, the Mariinsky Theatre, Elbphilharmonie, Munich’s Gasteig, the Louvre, Seoul Arts Center, Tokyo’s Asahi Hall and Musashino Hall, NCPA Beijing, Shanghai Poly Theater, and Amici della Musica Firenze, as well as appearing at major festivals including the Edinburgh International Festival, Verbier Festival, Ravinia Festival, Festival de Pâques d’Aix-en-Provence, and Montreux Jazz Festival.

An exclusive Warner Classics recording artist, Li’s debut recital album was recorded live at the Mariinsky; his second album features Liszt solo works and Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1, recorded live with Vasily Petrenko and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
