楊玉如

A sophisticated and virtuosic pianist born in Hong Kong, Alvina Yuk Yu Yang's playing is
characterised by her translucent touch, sensitive nuances and thoughtful interpretations. Her
repertoire choices exhibit dedication in exploring gems in piano literature and beyond, alongside
frequently performed repertoire. She is particularly interested in searching for a wide array of
timbres and colours on the piano, which also leads her to performing and writing transcriptions.
Alvina is currently pursuing her Master's Degree in piano performance at the Royal Academy of
Music with Ian Fountain, supported by a full scholarship from the Hong Kong Jockey Club
Music and Dance Fund. She completed her Bachelor of Music ( Honours ) Degree with First Class
Honours from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, studying with Gabriel Kwok. Prior
to that, she studied with Yim Wan on the Academy's junior music programme in her earlier
years.

She was a recipient of the HKSAR Government Home Affairs Bureau Multi-faceted Excellence
Scholarship, a full scholarship for her Bachelor's Degree, as well as Pearl River Kayserburg
Scholarship, The Helena May Scholarship and Tom Lee Music Scholarship. She has performed
in venues across Europe and Asia, and was interviewed by Radio Television Hong Kong with
her performance recorded for public broadcast. Some of her recent competition successes include
the First Prize at the Pacific Stars International Piano Competition ( United States ), Second Prize
at the Norah Sande Award ( United Kingdom ), Gold Prize and Chopin Prize at the 2nd Joyeux
Music International Piano Competition ( Singapore ) and the First Prize at the 81st Steinway &
Sons International Youth Piano Competition, among others.
Alvina has had masterclasses and lessons from internationally renowned pianists, including Jörg
Demus, Cyprien Katsaris, Steven Osborne, Yevgeny Sudbin, Thomas Rosenkranz, Ya-fei
Chuang, Hie Yon Choi, Lise de la Salle and Oliver Triendl. She has also appeared in the
