Claire Ye is a fourteen-year-old pianist who was raised and currently lives in the Seattle area. She began playing the piano when she was eight, and her biggest inspiration was her older sister, who was also playing the piano at that time. Since then, Claire has gone on to win international competitions, including the famous Golden Classical Music Awards. Driven by her passion for piano, she hopes to continue to learn and perform many new pieces in the future.
