At just 16 years old, Canadian pianist Sophia Liu is quickly emerging as the most compelling pianist of her generation. Liu’s “phenomenal virtuosity” (Bachtrack), coupled with her “poise and authority” (Boston Musical Intelligencer) and dynamic interpretations have captivated and mesmerised audiences worldwide.
