2018 CIPC for Young Artists:
Xiaoxuan Li & Eva Gevorgyan
In May a group of 22 bright, young pianists from across the globe made their way to Cleveland for the 2018 CIPC for Young Artists. Each contender had one goal in mind: take home the title of First Prize Winner.
On June 9, following 11 days of spectacular performances, Xiaoxuan Li and Eva Gevorgyan accomplished that goal and the two were declared the First Prize Winners for the Senior and Junior divisions.
Xiaoxuan Li
Xiaoxuan was born in Zhejiang, China. He began playing the piano at age four, and in 2016 he was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music. He has been awarded prizes at several international competitions, most notably First Prize in the 2018 CIPC for Young Artists Senior Division. Xiaoxuan has performed at many international music festivals, and appeared with the Hilton Head Symphony, Ashdod Orchestra, Salzburg Chamber Soloists, and Macao Orchestra.
Eva Gevorgyan
Eva has won prizes at more than 40 international competitions for piano and composition in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Estonia, Malta, Kazakhstan, Poland, Czech Republic, Georgia, Russia, Serbia, and now the United States. She was invited to the International Piano Academy Lake Como where she participated in master classes. Eva has performed in front of the President of Italy and has taken part in a national television show for young talent, advancing to the final round as the only pianist.
