Classical Piano - Level 10 - Group A
Adjudicator: Fiona Wu
Canadian pianist Fiona Wu is a soloist, collaborator, and teacher whose philosophy is rooted in a simple belief: the most powerful performance comes from stripping away pretense and playing from the essence of who you are.
Known for her highly sensitive and expressive playing, Fiona has been praised for her “complete mastery of contrapuntal detail” and “intense immersion” (New York Concert Review). A laureate of the Rosalyn Tureck International Bach Competition and winner of Le Prix Guy-Soucie and Le Prix Monik Grenier at the Concours Prix d’Europe, her performance of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto earned her third prize at the Concours de concerto de l’OUM.
A Toronto native now rooted in Montreal, Fiona speaks English, French, Mandarin, and Russian—a linguistic range that reflects her belief that music, at its best, transcends borders. She holds a doctorate from the Université de Montréal and currently serves on faculty at the Conservatoire de musique et d’art dramatique de Montréal.
