徐小培,
pianist
At
her 2018 Boston Symphony Hall debut, Xiaopei Xu won over the audience
with a dazzling performance of the Chopin E minor Piano Concerto
with Maestro Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra. Legendary
pianist Martha Argerich describes her as “a sensitive, elegant pianist
and a talented artist.” Conductor Bramwell Tovey regards her as
“one of the most inspiring young artists” after their first collaboration.
Already establishing herself worldwide as a deeply expressive artist,
Ms. Xu always uses her technical prowess to achieve poetic results
in her interpretations.
Ms. Xu currently resides in Boston and is pursuing a Doctorate in
Musical Arts from Boston University. She holds an MM degree from
Yale University and BM degree from New England Conservatory of Music.
Her principal teachers are Boaz Sharon, Hung-Kuan Chen, Meng-Chieh
Liu, and Xun Pan. She has also worked with influential musicians
such as Claude Frank, Richard Goode, Paul Bdura-Skoda, and Andrea
Bonatta. Ms. Xu has won top prizes at the 4th New York International
Piano Competition, Oberlin International Piano Competition, Tureck
International Bach Competition, the Washington D.C International
Young Artist Competition, the Richmond Piano competition and the
Soloist Competition at Boston University.
Ms. Xu performs regularly at festivals including Pianofest in the
Hamptons, PianoTexas in Fort Worth, Banff Music Centre in Alberta,
Sarasota Music Festival in Florida, Young Artist Festival in Russia,
and Walnut Hill Music Festival in Boston, where she was invited
to serve as a teaching assistant in 2015 and 2016.
In addition to her musical life, Ms. Xu has a passion for the visual
