Bruce Liu’s star is rising at a tremendous speed. In spring 2021, he joined the likes of Martha Argerich and Krystian Zimerman in winning the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. This win was followed closely by a record deal with Deutsche Grammophon and solo performances with world-leading orchestras.

The lyrical nature and intelligence of Liu’s playing already stood out in his competition performances. Throughout his subsequent international career, he has continued to display increasingly fascinating characteristics. Now, audiences have an excellent opportunity to experience his playing on a broader scale as he makes his debut at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet, performing a recital programme at Almi Hall.

Co-production with Finnish National Opera and Ballet

YLE will broadcast the concert.

Tickets 20–32 € available at National Operas ticket store.
