The Artist
A versatile musician, Cherry Ge’s artistry is shaped by a rich and interdisciplinary background. She began playing the piano at a young age, quickly earning numerous accolades following her debut at eight years old. She has since performed at renowned venues such as Wigmore Hall, the Southbank Centre, and Cadogan Hall where she made her first concerto debut under conductor Natalia Luis-Bassa. Her performances span solo, chamber and orchestral settings, and are recognised for their clarity and sensitivity; qualities that have led to praise from figures such as Julian Lloyd Webber OBE, who described her playing as “incisive.”
Cherry’s achievements include her recent First Prize in the Chung Nung Lee Piano Prize at the Royal Academy of Music, and 2nd Prize at the International Norah Sande Piano Competition. Cherry is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Piano at the Royal Academy of Music where she continues her studies with the Emeritus Head of Keyboard, Christopher Elton.
Beyond the stage, she is deeply committed to outreach and community engagement, viewing performances not only as an artistic act but also a social one. She regularly works with children as well as organisations in dementia-care settings. Notably, she appeared on the CBeebies program Melody and Friends, where she helped spark young children’s imaginations through music and the arts.
Shaped by an interdisciplinary path, Cherry recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Princeton University with a degree in Anthropology. Her research on risk and intimacy informs her approach to creating programmes that place classical music in dialogue with wider cultural and social themes, with the aim of making performances a space for reflection and dialogue.
