ABOUT THE FOUNDER

MS. WILLYANA ZHAO

Founder of La Pianista, Ms. Willyana Zhao, a native of Surabaya, Indonesia. She began her piano studies at the age of four, with her strong passion in music, she later pursued her studies in piano performance in Taiwan.
THEN SHE DECIDED RETURN TO HER HOMELAND WITH A STRONG VISION OF CULTIVATING THE YOUNG TALENTS
As she witnessed the growing number of talented young pianists in Indonesia as well as the lack of professional platforms, it became her dream to create La Pianista - a professional platform, for pianists to share their love for music and their most sincere thoughts and feelings.
She believes that on top of providing a platform for pianists to perform and share their music, competitions should also encourage friendships and meaningful relationships. She believes that the main purpose of competitions should not be only about selecting the best and eliminating the rest. Instead, competitions should serve the purpose of showcasing individuality and differences. Through La Pianista, she wishes to improve the standard for international competitions in encouraging young pianists all over the world.

All in all, Miss. Willyana strives to keep the classical music education’s scene alive and exciting. As she believes music serves to inspire, it is her wish that La Pianista will become the platform of inspiration for students, teachers, and audiences alike.
