The Louisiana International Pian

The Louisiana International Piano Competition and Festival (LIPC), is pleased to present Dizhou Zhao, China, as the Grand Prize winner of the 2007 event. From an initial group of over 100 pianists from 21 countries, Zhao, demonstrating exceptional skill and artistry, established himself as the clear winner. This recording by Classical Records, Moscow, Russia, stands as a testament to his talent and effort.
Professor Nikita Fitenko envisioned a piano competition in Louisiana, USA, to bring world class music to Louisiana. With the help of local support and a partnership with the Rapides Symphony, the LIPC was born. It's mission remains to identify, reward, and promote young talented pianists from all over the world, and Zhao certainly met these criteria.
We hope that you will enjoy this recording and be reminded that pianists are, in many ways, the keepers of music. They are living repositories of the extraordinary richness of classical music, which remains to be savored by the listening public now and in the future.

David J. Holcombe, MD
Committee Chairman

Born and raised in China, Dizhou Zhao started piano study at age four in his hometown of Shanghai. His talent was evident at a young age with his winning first prize at competition in Shanghai as well as performing his first public concert at age seven. One year later Dizhou was invited to record five piano sonatas by Mozart. At the age of eleven he enrolled in the preparatory Music School of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where he studied for six years.
In 1996 Dizhou was invited as the youngest competitor of the Cong-A International Piano Competition in Seoul, South Korea. One year later he performed the Prokofiev Piano Concerto, No. 3 in C major with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra with only ten days' notice. In 1999 Dizhou received a full scholarship award from New England Conservatory in Boston, MA. He came to study with Russell Sherman and later on with Patricia Zander for his Bachelor Degree in Piano Performance.

In September he won third prize in the Tbilisi International Piano Competition in Tbilisi, Georgia.
In January 2006 he won the Special Chopin Award in the first USASU Piano Competition in Arizona. In the same year he was invited to give two solo recitals in the Newport Music Festival and received great reviews by Channing Gray from the Providence Journal.
