Interview with Di Xiao – Pianist, writer, and cultural ambassador - (recorded April 2021)

Hailed as 'a pianist of awesome gifts' and once named among the top ten up and coming Chinese pianists by International Piano Magazine, Di has performed in over 20 countries and in many of the World's most prestigious venues. The piano has taken her from the post Cultural Revolution backstreets of southern China to the world stage.
A performer, educator, author and director, Di is passionate about sharing her knowledge and love of music, creating innovative concert programmes that mix Western and Eastern musical fabrics. Didi takes her role as cultural ambassador very seriously and aspires to create a bridge between the two cultures.

During her interview I asked Di about:

Her journey from China to Birmingham UK.
What were her biggest concerns & fears about leaving home and moving to another country, another culture, another language?
Who did she turn to for help & support? Which best advice would she give to someone wanting to move abroad?
If being a talented musician, helped her settle into new surroundings?
Having a passion for female empowerment, how does she thinks that the ISL (Ladies) Club can help empower women?
The ISL is all about helping women realise their dreams & ambitions, unlock the talents & qualities they all possess. What were her dreams when leaving China and what would she say to anyone who has unfulfilled dreams?
