Nobuyuki Tsujii and Yundi Li, two of the world’s best young piano virtuosi, will perform during the Abu Dhabi Festival 2010. Each will give a piano recital as part of the Chopin Bicentennial celebrations which is a core theme in this year’s Festival.

Nobuyuki Tsujii will give his piano recital at The Emirates Palace on 28 March. The Japanese pianist made his debut at the age of 12 at Tokyo’s Suntory Hall in Japan and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in the USA.  Now 21, Tsujii has appeared as soloist with many of the major Japanese orchestras including Yomiuri Nippon Symphony, Tokyo Symphony and Japan Philharmonic. He has also given recitals in Forth Worth and Houston, and embarked on a major recital tour of Japan.

Yundi Li’s piano recital at The Emirates Palace is on 1 April and will feature a programme of Chopin piano works. He was propelled onto the international musical scene when he won first prize at the 2000 Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland, at the age of 18. Critically acclaimed for his technical precision and boundless enthusiasm, Li made his American orchestral debut in July 2003 with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Highlights of recent seasons include concerts with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra; the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Centre; and in Seoul, South Korea.
