Bruce (Xiaoyu) Liu has won the 18th Frederic Chopin international piano competition after performing a Chopin concerto at the packed National Philharmonic in Warsaw. The 24-year-old Canadian will pocket the top prize of 40,000 euros ($45,000).

The announcement from the jury came just hours after Liu played as the last entrant among the 12 finalists, performing Chopin’s concerto in E minor, opus 11 with the orchestra at the packed National Philharmonic in Warsaw. His inspired performance was met with huge applause.“We have been dreaming with all these people here for this prestigious stage,” the 24-year-old born in Paris said in English.

The fourth prize and 15,000 euros was shared by Aimi Kobayashi of Japan and Poland’s Jakub Kuszlik, who also won best mazurka performance prize and 5,000 euros. Italy’s Leonora Armellini was awarded the fifth prize of 10,000 euros , while the sixth prize and 7,000 euros went to Canada’s J.J. Jun Li Bui.

Jury head Katarzyna Popowa-Zydron said after the announcement that the level of the pianists was very high and made the award decisions very hard for the 17 jurors. She called the participants “wonderful young people.” Bowing to their artistry, the jury allowed two more finalists this year than usual. The competition, held every five years, was postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic.
