Emerging Artists Series 2011 Winner

Each year, the Lewis Eady Charitable Trust extends an invitation to universities around New Zealand to present a pianist to perform as part of an Emerging Artists Series. Travel and accommodation for performers outside of Auckland is covered by the Trust.

Lewis Eady Charitable Trust promotes each solo recital and with support of sponsors, Dawsons Catering and Soho Wine Co, allows the audience some informal time to socialise over a glass of wine and canapés prior to the evenings performance.

The performances are considered by an independent adjudicator who selects the winner of the series with the best recital performance.

The Lewis Eady Charitable Trust are proud to announce the WINNER of the 2011 Emerging Artists Series - LUCY ZENG of Auckland University.


Lucy Zeng is eighteen years old and currently a second year Bachelor of Music student at Auckland University’s School of Music, studying piano with Rae de Lisle. She started learning the piano at the age of seven and won 1st prize in district piano competitions around Auckland such as the Epsom Music Competition, North Shore,South Auckland, Te Awamutu Performing Arts Competitions, and IRMT scholarships.
At fifteen, Lucy was awarded 2nd place in the 2008 New Zealand Mazda Foundation National Young Performer Awards.
