Lixuan Wang
My name is Lixuan Wang. I'm 20 years old. I was born in a musical family in Beijing, China. I have been learning the piano from my mother (a Chinese piano educator). At the age of five, I performed publicly on stage for the first time. I performed many times at the Beijing Music Festival and also took part in numerous competitions and concerts, including appearances on China Central Television and Beijing Radio & Television Station. I was also invited to perform at Carnegie Hall and won awards there. I also took master classes with Guangren Zhou, Andrzej Jasiński, Wojciech Świtała, Natalie Zhu and Curtis Master Class etc. I created my own social media channel, posting videos of my playing and practicing to promote classical music on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and the Chinese website Bilibili, among others.
