Yiyun started her piano training at the age of three, and made her first appearance of playing concerto with orchestra at the age of twelve. She won prizes at several youth piano competitions when she was in Shanghai. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in commerce, Yiyun decided to devote herself to music performance and teaching, with the passion for sharing her love of music with audiences and students.
