About the Performer A graduate of Curtis Institute of Music, pianist Lio Kuok-Wai was a recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant administered by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, as well as the Career Advancement Award given by Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia.

Praised by the VANCOUVER SUN as a "musician's musician" and for his "sensitive playing" by THE NEW YORK TIMES, the Macauborn pianist is active as a soloist and chamber musician worldwide. He has performed at venues such as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Tonhalle Zürich, and Herkulessaal in Munich. He was chosen to step in for the legendary pianist, Radu Lupu, for a recital in Town Hall, New York to critical acclaim.

Kuok-Wai has studied under Gabriel Kwok, Gary Graffman, Claude Frank, Peter Frankl, Boris Berman, Jack Winerock, Stanislav Ioudenitch, and others. His mentors include Imogen Cooper, Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss. He was invited by Sir András Schiff to take part in many of his masterclasses in Europe, and by Leon Fleisher to attend his mentorship program at Caramoor in upstate New York.

A frequent participant at the Marlboro Music Festival, Kuok-Wai has performed with musicians such as Peter Wiley, Kim Kashkashian, Pamela Frank, Cho-Liang Lin, Peter Stumpf, Joseph Lin, Christoph Richter, Hsin-Yun Huang, Zoltan Fejevari, Oliver Herbert, Andrei Ionita, Ben Beilman, Danbi Um, the Shanghai Quartet, and others. During an anniversary celebration of Sandor Vegh and the International Musicians Seminar in Prussia Cove, Kuok-Wai was chosen to perform in masterclasses and concerts at Wigmore Hall in London, and the Salzburg Festival. He has also performed at a Schubertiade curated by Vancouver Recital Society, alongside pianists Inon Barnatan and Jonathan Biss.

A prize winner of numerous international competitions, KuokWai received a Commendation of Merit given by the Chief Executive of Macau. He was invited to perform with his brother Lio Kuokman, for Hu Jintao, then President of the People’s Republic of China.
