Peiyao Shan

China

Renowned pianist Jianing Kong complimented Peiyao, stating “Peiyao processes a marvellous piano technique, with a very strong, secure, and solid delivery. Her performance of the bravura works by Liszt, Rachmaninoff and other difficult transcriptions are at an impressive standard. Her stage presence often comes across committed, fiery and have plenty of personal characters. I believe she will blossom into a distinguished concert artist, and she deserves to be heard on international platforms.”

Chinese-born Pianist Peiyao engaged in piano learning from the age of five. She entered a Chinese Musical School attached to the conservatoire and received professional musical education from 11 years old. After being honoured with The First Degree of both a Bachelor's and Master's at the Royal College of Music, she is currently continuing to focus the highest degree of performing artist - Artist Diploma at the RCM. She has been under the guidance of Professor Jianing Kong, Caterina Grewe, Gordon Fergus-Thompson (2017-2019), Galyna Popova (2011-2017) and Yuan Ling.
