Blending heart warming song arrangements and colourful dances, Di Xiao’s Cançons i danses programme has a distinct Spanish flavour and features works by Schubert, Ireland, Ravel, Albeniz and Mompou.

Di Xiao has been hailed as ‘a pianist of awesome gifts’ and was once named among the ten most outstanding young Chinese pianists by International Piano Magazine. The piano has taken her from the post Cultural Revolution backstreets of southern China to the global stage where she has performed in over 20 countries and many of the world’s most prestigious venues. A performer, educator, writer and director of the Birmingham International Music Academy, she aspires to create a bridge between Chinese and European cultures. Di takes her role as cultural ambassador very seriously and is passionate about giving female artists a voice.

Di just finished her 11 cities China tour in May 2023, together with her new release ‘To Spring’- a metaphor for hope, rebirth and love.
