George Li travels to Germany this month to make his debut with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin at the Philharmonie Berlin on 10 October 2016. Li joins the orchestra for a performance of Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.3 under the baton of Lorenzo Viotti.
The concert in Berlin is Li’s second debut of the season, coming soon after his first concert with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, and also follows a triumphant debut at the Edinburgh International Festival in August:
“No piano recital ever more deserved five stars… he has just about the full package of abilities: masses of style, acres of expertise and technical virtuosity with dexterity almost beyond categorisation… I’ve seldom felt a crowd being so swept along by the momentum of an event; and they roared for more.”
Herald Scotland
“…there’s plenty to be amazed by, not least his glittering, galvanising, finger-breaking virtuosity, most clearly on show in the fiery Carmen transcription that formed his second, begged-for encore.”
