Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious competitions in the world, the Queen Elisabeth Competition has crowned pianists such as Boris Giltburg, Valery Afanassiev, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Leon Fleisher, and Emil Gilels, as well as violinists including Ray Chen, Vadim Repin, Jaime Laredo, and David Oistrakh. In 2025, Dutch pianist Nikola Meeuwsen joined this distinguished lineage as the Grand Prize Winner, at the age of 23. His playing was described by The Times as having “tapped right into the delicacy and beauty of everything he played,” and he is quickly emerging as one of the most exciting artists of our time. Join us this September at his highly anticipated Hong Kong debut and witness this extraordinary new talent command the spotlight.

HKU MUSE is proud to be the only stage presenting four laureates from this year’s major international piano competitions in one season – starting with our very own! Discover the full series: Piano Laureates in Concert

年僅23歲的荷蘭鋼琴家梅爾森於2025年比利時伊麗莎白王后大賽奪冠。自1937年創立以來，歷屆冠軍包括基特寶（Boris Giltburg）、阿法納西耶夫（Valery Afanassiev）、阿殊堅納西（Vladimir Ashkenazy）、費沙（Leon Fleisher）、吉列爾斯（Emil Gilels）等鋼琴大師，以及陳銳（Ray Chen）、列賓（Vadim Repin）、拉萊度（Jaime Laredo）及愛爾斯泰克（David Oistrakh）等小提琴名家。《泰晤士報》讚譽梅爾森的演奏「觸及所奏每一音符的細緻與美感」，技藝與詩意兼備，為國際樂壇炙手可熱的新星。今年九月，他將於繆思樂季迎來備受期待的香港首演，展現非凡的舞台魅力！
