WINNIPEG¬‚ - On Saturday, October 3, 2009, Virtuosi Concerts will host the western Canadian debut of classical pianist, Ang Li. CBC radio will also record this Winnipeg concert.
Li has performed on some of the most recognized stages across China, Europe, and North America. 2009 has been busy for the 24-year-old.
