Pianist Adria Ye

Pianist Adria Ye perform works by Lili Boulanger, Leoš Janáček and Frederic Chopin, live from the Seventeenth Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago.

Chinese-American pianist Adria Ye has been driven from a young age by a hopeless fascination with music. Described by cellist David Finckel as having a “naturally beautiful sound and lyric instinct,” she made her orchestral debut at nine with the Oregon Sinfonietta, and has since performed as soloist and chamber musician across Europe, China, and the United States. She has been featured in radio broadcasts of “Performance Today” with Fred Child, and National Public Radio’s “From the Top.” Most recently, she was the recipient of the Paul Streit Special Prize at the 2022 Concours de Genéve, and was the winner of the 2022 Music Academy of the West Solo Piano Competition.
