RISING START CONCERT – SOPHIA LUI, PIANO (Tavernier)

The concert is sponsored by the History of Diving Museum

At the age of 17, Canadian pianist Sophia Liu is rapidly emerging as one of the most compelling artists of her generation. Liu’s “extremely clear, delicate, refined and almost supernaturally fluid” touch (Le Monde) coupled with her “phenomenal virtuosity” (Bachtrack) have captivated and mesmerised audiences worldwide.
