Ruixi Granger Liu

I am a classical pianist from China, currently studying Piano Performance at DePauw University with a minor in Film and Media Arts. Having begun piano at the age of five, I’ve developed a deep passion for musical expression that has led me to win multiple international competitions, including the Liszt Bicentennial International Piano Competition and the China-Singapore Music Competition.
