Hailed by The Boston Globe as “a world-class pianist” and by the Boston Musical Intelligencer as “spellbinding and expressive”, pianist Xiaopei Xu made her Boston Symphony Hall concerto debut with Boston Pops in 2018 and has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in venues across three continents.
Chi-Wei Lo is a pianist, improviser, and arranger whose performances utilize a plethora of musical languages. He has continually pushed boundaries, blending interdisciplinary art forms with both traditional and avant-garde musical elements to create compelling concert experiences.
