Muzi Li is a highly acclaimed young Chinese pianist on the international stage, recognized as one of the world’s most promising and outstanding young female pianists. Hailed by Germany’s historic newspaper Murrhardter Zeitung as “a radiant pianist, a rising star…”

Italian critic Alfonso Sarno noted in Mundo Musicos: “Her performance is exquisitely refined, with a crystal-clear tone. Her slender arms possess remarkable inner power, and her ten fingers work like those of a magician, effortlessly conjuring diverse styles and tonal colors."

Even before finishing high school, she became a student of Professor Susanne Grützmann at the Hochschule für Musik „Hanns-Eisler“ Berlin and later of Prof. Markus Groh at the university of arts Berlin. It was also with Prof. Groh that Muzi completed her bachelor and master studies, which she finished in 2022 with the highest grade. She is currently pursuing her Konzertexamen degree, under the guidance of Prof. Florian Wiek at HMDK Stuttgart in Germany, where she also teaches as assistant teacher in the piano faculty.

She has won prizes at many prestigious competitions, most recently the 1st prize and Expressive Performance Prize at the Salzburg International Music Competition in Austria, and the 1st prize at the Orbetello International Piano Competition in Italy.

Muzi also received the 1st prize and the Audience’s Choice prize at the 5th Francesco Cardaropoli International Piano Competition in Italy, and the 1st prize at the 2023 Mimas Festival International Piano Competition in Procida, and a special scholarship award, sponsored by Krause Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. Among her many honours, Muzi also won 1st prize at the 15th Giovani Musicisti International Piano Competition in Venice, and the 1st prize at the 6th UK international piano competition in London.

As one of the most active young pianists on the international stage, Muzi has performed across 18 countries, spanning five continents, including China, Germany, the USA, Canada, Brazil, France, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

This past season, Muzi performed extensively in Europe, Asia, and South America, giving performances at such prominent venues as Berlin Philharmonie in Germany (January 2025), the Salle Cortot in Paris, Solitär performance Hall in Salzburg, the Evans Hall in New York, the Theatro Municipal in Brazil, the Montreal concert hall in Canada, the Manuel de Falla Auditorium in Madrid, and the Santa Margherita Nuova in Naples.

Nick Zhang received piano training under the legendary pianists Ronald Farren-Price (a student of Claudio Arrau) and Rita Reichman (a student of Seymour Lipkin, Mieczysław Horszowski, and Rosina Lhévinne). Under their guidance, he pursued the exploration of the logical relationship between tonal color and dynamics in his performances. He believes that if a performer cannot find an appropriate sound (including dynamics and tone) for different pieces, the performance will inevitably lack artistic objectivity and be overly spontaneous.

Nick furthered his piano studies in Germany under the tutelage of Klaus Bessler, head of the piano department at Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, who praised him as a passionate and extremely talented pianist.

Nick studied piano in the pre-college program at the New England Conservatory in Boston and performed with the Harvard University Music Department. He later enrolled in a joint program at Yale University and the University of Melbourne, where he continued his piano studies and earned Bachelor's degrees with a double major in Economics and International Politics, along with a piano diploma.

He later studied piano and earned a Master's degree at the Royal College of Music in London. He also received piano guidance from Andrew Schiff, Robert Macdonald, and Solomon Mikowsky.

Nick has played concerts in China, Australia, London, Germany, America, and Italy. He has also collaborated with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, performing Mozart piano concertos. He was invited to perform at the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne, Australia, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Apart from music, Nick is also fascinated by philosophy, history, literature, and mathematics, having won a prize in the Mathematical Olympiad. During 2015 - 2017, he taught piano and math at Trinity College at the University of Melbourne.
