Sheng-Yuan Lynch
Winner of the 2026 Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition, Sheng-Yuan Lynch has
performed across Australia, Asia and Europe, including concerto appearances
with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and
Macquarie Symphony Orchestra, and alongside internationally renowned ballet
star Roberto Bolle. Sheng-Yuan's successes include winning the 2024 Great
Romantics Competition, being named a semi-finalist in the ABC Young Performers
Awards, and receiving Silver Award at the Finlandia International Piano
Competition. Sheng-Yuan began learning piano by ear at the age of three, before
commencing formal lessons with Shan Deng, Senior Lecturer in Classical
Performance (Piano) at the University of Tasmania, in 2012. By age 12, he had
earned his AMEB AMusA and LMusA diplomas with Distinction, and is currently
undertaking his third year of Bachelor of Music at UTAS with majors in
classical piano and film composition. Using music as a way to assist those in
need, Sheng-Yuan performed a series of charity concerts from 2016 to 2023,
helping donate a total of almost $200,000 to various organisations. For his
philanthropic efforts, he was honoured with the 2021 City of Hobart Young
Citizen of the Year.
Since retiring from a research and academic career and moving to Tasmania, Annick has been able to devote time to a life-long interest in drawing and painting. When time allowed, she studied watercolour with Owen Thompson at the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney, etching with Seraphina Martin (USyd) and two years part-time at the Willoughby Art Centre, mentored by artist Mieke Cohen. I also have a Diploma in Botanical Illustrations from the Society of Botanical Artists (UK).
She is inspired by the beauty and uniqueness of the natural environment and the plants and animals found within it, and thinks of her self as an observer, recording and interpreting what I see in drawings, watercolours and etchings, with a special interest in the endemic species of Tasmania.
