As far as we know, the young piano<\/strong> talent Paul Ji<\/strong><\/a>, who made his debut in the world of classical music<\/strong> at a very young age, is considered one of the most promising talents<\/strong> of his generation. Trained for a decade by Qin Yingming<\/strong>, famous winner of the Long Thibaud<\/strong><\/em> competition, and having continued his studies<\/strong> at the \u00c9cole Normale de Paris<\/strong><\/em> under the direction of Jean-Bernard Pommier<\/strong>, the artist Paul Ji<\/strong> quickly made a name for himself. In 2012<\/strong>, at the age of only 12<\/strong>, he won the prestigious American Prot\u00e9g\u00e9<\/strong> <\/em>competition at Carnegie Hall<\/strong><\/em>. His career<\/strong> then accelerated with seven victories<\/strong> at the Steinway International Competition<\/strong><\/em>, between 2010<\/strong> and 2018<\/strong>, which even allowed him to represent France<\/strong> at the Steinway Music Festival<\/strong> in Hamburg<\/strong>. Then, in 2019<\/strong>, at the age of 15<\/strong>, he was spotted during the Prodiges<\/strong> <\/em>show on French TV<\/strong><\/em> and released his first album<\/strong> under the Warner Classics<\/strong> label, marking his entry into fame<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The upcoming recital<\/strong> program, planned on October 19th 2024<\/strong>, at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-Elys\u00e9es<\/strong><\/em>, would be entirely devoted to Chopin<\/strong>, illustrating Paul Ji<\/strong>\u2019s passion for this legendary composer<\/strong>. His elegant and noble interpretation<\/strong> of various Chopin<\/strong>\u2019s artworks has already won over many critics<\/strong>. That’s why Paul Ji<\/strong> is scheduled to perform major pieces<\/strong>, such as the Third Sonata<\/strong><\/em>, the 24 Preludes<\/strong><\/em>, along studies<\/strong> from Opus 10<\/strong><\/em> and 25<\/strong><\/em>. The virtuoso<\/strong><\/em> and iconic Andante spianato<\/strong><\/em> and Grande Polonaise<\/strong> brillante<\/strong><\/em> would also be on the program<\/strong>, showcasing the technical mastery<\/strong> and artistic sensitivity<\/strong> of this young prodigy<\/strong>. In this promising<\/strong> presentation, Paul Ji<\/strong> describes Chopin<\/strong>\u2019s universe as an emotional exploration<\/strong>, where each piece<\/strong> invites us to some reflection<\/strong> and introspection<\/strong>. Paul Ji<\/strong> considers this music<\/strong> as a language<\/strong> that is both complex<\/strong> and universal<\/strong>, as well able of touching hearts<\/strong>, while expressing random human emotions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
