In 2004, he was awarded a grant from Yamaha, enabling him to give chamber music concerts together with prize winners from the International Paganini Violin Competition and Tchaikovsky International Music Competition. In his own country, he was recently awarded the 'Bao Steel' Education Award and the Special Prize for Artists by Shanghai government. Yingdi Sun studied with Professor Sheng Yi-qi at the Conservatory of Music in Shanghai since 2001 and has participated in the master classes of, amongst others, Philippe Entremont, Xu Zhong, Roberto Carnevale and Leslie Howard.
