BIOGRAPHY

The innovative nature of Xie's concert made it unlike any other. At only 15 years of age, Lily Xie transcended the standard mode of performance for piano concertos. Xie, performed "The Eternal Sorrow of Lin'an” featuring a guzheng and piano concerto all by herself! This was made possible by her using a player piano to record the piano part first. She edited the recording and played it through the player piano. During the concerto,Xie played guzheng along with the pre-recorded piano sound at the venue. This is the first performance to utilize a Steinway Spirio | r to perform a duet with a guzheng for a perfect rendition of a Chinese folk classic! This pioneering performance fused the essence of Chinese and Western music. It made Lily Xie Steinway's first innovative performer in the world to use the SPIRIO | r , a high-definition player recording piano and play it alongside the guzheng, a classic Chinese folk instrument.


Lily Xie's is a cheerful girl who has a wide range of interests. She is enthusiastic about volunteering, reading, skating, playing piano and Chinese zither(Guzheng). Lily had studied under Pianist Art Zhang since 2018, and she had won the "Canadian young artist" award in the same year. In 2020, she served as the host of the children's reading program of Seattle Chinese radio in the United States, and she had introduced western literary classics to local Chinese, which was recognized by the audiences. She also committed herself to the community charity performance and fund-raising performance for Vancouver hospital. Lily Xie's life motto is: enjoy and share.
