Classical pianist George Li hasn’t been on the classical music scene for very long. He made his public debut at the age of 10 and only released his first recording in 2017. He will take to the Hollywood Bowl stage for an evening entitled Masterworks by Grieg on Thursday.
Edvard Grieg’s music is on the bill (as one would expect given the show’s title.) Li opens the show with the Norwegian composer’s Piano Concerto in A Minor. The second half finds the LA Philharmonic, under the direction of Gustavo Gimeno, performing three selections from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite.
Li is one of the fastest rising classical pianists right now and this concert will give us all a good idea of just how talented he is and how far he might go.
