A little more about Lixin....
Lixin started learning the piano at the age of four and was first recognised nationally at eleven years old for his musical achievements. He was awarded the Irene Lassen Exhibition award by the Royal Schools of Music for his first diploma exam.

Lixin won first prize in the 2016 Wallace National Junior Piano Competition and the special award for Best Performance of a Classical Sonata. Since then, he has won each of the major New Zealand piano competitions, including the National Young Performer Award, the Wallace National Piano Competition, and the National Concerto Competition.
