Biography

Dedicated and Uniquely Authentic Artist

Montréal-based Taiwanese pianist Jui-Sheng Li has garnered international acclaim in recent years. Praised by the New York Concert Review as “a musician of integrity and depth” and lauded by La Scena Musicale as “a uniquely authentic and dedicated artist,” his concert programming reflects a creative vision, blending traditional repertoire with lesser-known but equally exquisite works.

Jui-Sheng has performed across Asia, Europe, and North America in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Château de Fontainebleau in France, Konzerthaus Blaibach in Germany, National Concert Hall in Taiwan, and both Montréal Symphony House and Bourgie Hall in Canada. Additionally, he has performed at renowned festivals and institutions such as the Asia Pacific Saxophone Academy, the Bowdoin International Music Festival, the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Brevard Music Center, the Castleman Quartet Program, La Cité internationale des arts, the Easter Music Festival, the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance, the International Music Workshop and Festival, the International Summer Academy of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, the Musical Chairs Chamber Music Festival, the New York University Summer Piano Intensive, and the Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival. His performances have also been broadcast on the Rukus Avenue Radio in Los Angeles, USA and the National Education Radio of Taiwan.

As an educator, Jui-Sheng has held teaching positions at Northwestern Polytechnic and McGill University in Canada as well as the University of Wyoming in USA. Currently, he serves as a Piano Educator at the Montréal Symphony Orchestra’s education initiative, Music for Children, and a Lecturer at Singapore Raffles Music College.

Jui-Sheng holds a Doctor of Music degree from McGill University’s Schulich School of Music under the tutelage of Professor Kyoko Hashimoto. Outside of music, he enjoys traveling, hiking, swimming, bicycling, and immersing himself in new languages and cultures.

What Critics Say

“A Musician of Integrity and Depth”

“Mr. Li is a musician of integrity and depth, and it was a joy to hear this work [Schumann Fantasie Op. 17] in his hands...Mr. Li captured its ardor, wistfulness, and reverie with sensitivity to tone and phrasing. One looks forward to hearing more from this young artist.”

The New York Concert Review

“A uniquely authentic and dedicated artist”

“In a remarkably poetic performance, pianist Jui-Sheng Li reveals himself a uniquely authentic and dedicated artist in his debut solo album Recollection, produced by IAN Records in 2023...An exceptional interpreter of Scriabin’s ethereal 24 Préludes, Op. 11, Li seamlessly weaves one prélude into the next, as if remembering moments long past with a quiet longing. Powerful at times (No. 6), measured and tasteful at others (No. 7), Li’s light and precise fingerwork, beautiful and sincere playing renders the magnificent score in an uncomplicated, yet poignant way.”

La Scena Musicale

“A Mature, thoughtful, and intelligent musician”

“The young pianist Jui-Sheng Li is a mature, thoughtful, and intelligent musician, with a powerful technique, and amazing skill at learning scores very quickly! He is more than ready to perform solo or chamber repertoire on any professional concert series.”

Jane Coop, Pianist, Order of Canada

“An uncomplicated but passionate performance”

“Jui-Sheng plays with a sincerity and thoughtfulness that leads to an uncomplicated but passionate performance.”

Burt Wathen, former Artistic Director, Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance

“Das neue Album”

“Natürlich ist es schön, wenn ein neues Sound-Produkt nicht allein durch klangliche Meriten, sondern auch durch interpretatorische Finessen auffällt.”
