A vibrant rising star shares her passion for music
Award-winning violinist Ding Yijie returns to No Limits with a classical recital celebrating her musical passion and mastery. In 2019, Ding opened the No Limits programme as an accomplished emerging performer, receiving critical acclaim for her performance of Paganini’s Caprice No. 24. In this second recital, Ding showcases her musical development with an ambitious repertoire of works that have played an influential role in her career.
The programme includes virtuoso presentations of Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No.7, Henryk Wieniawski’s challenging piece Faust Fantasy, and a selection of works from Mendelssohn, Dvořák and Tchaikovsky – all of which hold special childhood memories.
Born in the early 2000s, Ding is the first and only blind student to major in the violin at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. She has performed internationally in Japan, Austria and Germany, and been recognised with a number of awards. In 2021, she won the VSA International Young Soloist Competition and was named Best Performance at the 19th Gold Concert organised by the Japan Barrier-free Association, and in 2021, she was awarded the special jury prize at the HKGNA International Music Competition, as well as second prize in the young artist section.
We are delighted to welcome Ding back to the No Limits stage, and to showcase the exceptional talents of a bright and inspiring young performer.
