GENEVA, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Swiss-born Chinese pianist and composer Melodie Zhao began studying the piano at age three, held her first stage performance at age six, and has been holding master classes since age 14.
In early 2020, 26-year-old Zhao stole the hearts of her audience at Geneva's renowned Victoria Hall auditorium when she concluded a rendition of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 with a six-minute piano capriccio she herself wrote to honor the heroes of Wuhan, the central Chinese city that first reported the coronavirus outbreaks.
