| 11 year old accordionist, Rachael Xu (China) has announced her decision to donate the entire income of her forthcoming Summer Asian Tour to the International Music Council. The tour is set to start in July 2021 and will bring the musician across China, Japan, Korea and Singapore. Influenced by her father Lin Xu, an accordion virtuoso himself and former champion of the American Accordionists’ Association Competition, Rachael started playing the accordion at the age of 7 and has soon demonstrated exceptional talent by passing the highest level (level 10) of the Provincial Music Proficiency Examination in the Accordion category, ranking her the youngest person ever to pass the exam on such level. Under the tutelage of Grayson Masefield (multi World Accordion Champion), Rachael quickly expanded her repertoire and has been competing and performing nationally and internationally, participating in an average of 30 events per year. Among her latest accomplishments, she won first prizes in all Under 9 categories at the 80th American Accordionists' Association Competition (2018), the gold medal at the 14th Singapore Zhongsin 2020Zhongsin International Music Competition (2019), first prizes at the New Zealand Accordion Association South Pacific International Accordion Championship Under 12 (2019) and at the Under 13 AATA Australian International Championship in 2020 (Open and Original category). She was recently appointed Youth Artist Titano Accordions. Read the full IMC Press release: IMC-Press-Release-09-February-2021.pdf |
