Young and exceptionally talented, Zhexiang Li — winner of the last edition of the Santa Cecília International Piano Competition — returns to Porto for an intimate recital. After moving the jury and audience at Casa da Música with his outstanding performance in 2024, Li now presents his debut album recorded with KNS Classical, which includes a piece by Portuguese composer Victor Macedo Pinto.

This concert marks the beginning of a year filled with important milestones: Zhexiang Li will return to Porto in September to perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 at Casa da Música with the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto. A sign that the Santa Cecília Competition is, indeed, a true launchpad for young musicians with promising international careers.
