Sherri Lun, named ‘2020 Performing Artist of the Year’ by the South China Morning

(Chicago Tribune).

Recently selected as a 2025/26 Kirckman Artist, Sherri is also supported by the
Keyboard Charitable Trust, Lang Lang International Music Foundation, and KNS

concerto debut at the Ravinia Festival with the Midwest Young Artists at age 10, she
has performed in major venues including Wigmore Hall in London, Fondation Louis
Vuitton in Paris, and Millennium Park in Chicago. Having performed extensively
across Europe, Asia, and the United States, Sherri’s recent engagements include
concert tours in Italy and Malaysia, with upcoming debuts at Bridgewater Hall and

Sherri won First and Audience Prizes at the 2024 Birmingham International Piano
