George Li, Pianist
USA, Boston
My approach to classical music:
The most important for me is to love the music. Without love for what you are doing, there is no way to convince the audience that music is great, and that there is something to be said in music.
All of these experiences that I've had over these past years make me feel that music has no borders, and is an universal language, with the ability to touch the hearts of anyone and everyone all over the world, which is - in the end - what makes music so special.
