As part of the Beijing Music Festival, pianist Li Yundi will give a recital on Thursday at the Wangfujing Church, marking his return to the festival after a four-year absence.
Acclaimed both at home and abroad, Li was the youngest and first Chinese winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition and is widely acclaimed for his interpretation of Chopin. Though he performs at prestigious venues around the world, Li has been absent from the capital city's annual music festival since 2010.
His return performance will be held in the historic Wangfujing Church. A church concert has been a feature of the Beijing Music Festival since the inaugural event in 2006.
This year's church concert, sponsored by UBS, will include works by Chopin, Beethoven and Schumann, as well as a selection of Chinese songs.
