Rockport Chamber Music Festival Annex Series

Pianist George Li will perform with the Borromeo Quartet and violist Barry Shiffman at the Shalin Liu Performance Center at 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 25. He replaces pianist David Deveau, who was scheduled to perform as part of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival Annex series.
Deveau cited medical reasons as to why he is unable to perform. Ticket buyers have been notified of the change and informed of their options.
“I am incredibly appreciative that George Li, who has performed in the Festival several times, is able to perform in my place,” Deveau wrote in a message to ticketholders. “I know you will enjoy the performance!”
Li, silver medalist in the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition and winner of the prestigious XIV Concours International Grand Prix Animato 2014 Paris, is regarded as one of the world’s most talented and creative young pianists. His astonishing technique, distinctive tonal quality and exceptional musicality have earned him consistent critical acclaim (New York Times, Washington Post, International Piano Magazine, Toronto Star, The Boston Phoenix, The Boston Music Intelligencer) and enthusiastic audience response worldwide for his solo recitals, orchestral collaborations and chamber music performances. George won third prize in the 2015 U.S. Chopin Competition, and second prize in the 2014 Vendome Prize. In 2012, he received the prestigious Gilmore Young Artist Award, becoming its youngest recipient. His August 25 program includes Bach’s Prelude & Fugue in E-flat minor, Well-Tempered Clavier I, BWV 853, arr. N. Kitchen; Mozart’s String Quintet in G minor, K.516; and Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 26.
