We are delighted to welcome back Katy Taylor alongside collaborator Yiyao Li for another installment in our lunchtime concert series. With a programme including Handel and Faure, it is sure to be one not to miss. 

Katy Taylor is classically trained by Dutch chamber musician Eleonore Pameijer (2009-2012) and she is also a scholarship student of the Galway Flute Academy, run by Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway (since 2020). She resides in London and works as a freelance musician and teacher. Her CD Solo for Flute was released in 2013, including  works by Bach, Debussy, Ibert and Koechlin. She has featured as a guest artist in events at the Hermitage Museum in 2011 in Amsterdam and performed for the Dutch musical foundation Kunst in de Kamer the previous year. She has taken classes in Alexander-Technique with Dutch teacher Arie Jan Hoorweg and she uses her knowledge to make her students play with greater musical freedom.

Yiyao Li is currently doing her postgraduate studies in collaborative piano at the Royal College of Music, studying with Simon Lepper, Kathron Sturrock and Roger Vignoles. Yiyao participates in a multitude of performances and competitions. She will also take part in the Leeds Lieder Festival as a young artist in 2025.
