laine Wu YiLi's "Butterfly Lovers" Piano concerto at Older But Wiser Forum
巫漪麗女士生於1931年是中國第一代鋼琴家，中國鋼琴啟蒙人之一。自幼酷愛音樂，曾隨前上海交響樂團指揮，著名鋼琴家，音樂教育家梅帕器（Maesteo Mariopaci）學習鋼琴。梅帕器是世界鋼琴大師李斯特的再傳弟子。1949年首次和上海交響樂團合作演出貝多芬第一鋼琴協奏曲反應熱烈。
1950年參加上海交響樂團擔任鋼琴獨奏家和室內樂演奏家，並任教於上海樂學院及中國福利會兒童劇團。1954年在北京中央樂團擔任獨奏家和室內樂演奏家，1962年被淘汰國家一級鋼琴演奏家，得到周恩來總理在中國海懷仁堂的親自接見。
1982年在美國深造，隨即美國鋼琴協會主席Ozan Marsh學習鋼琴表演藝術及新式“形象”的教學法，獲得“音樂家”稱號。
在她演奏李斯特，舒曼和肖邦的作品中，我們能夠做到領悟。她對中國作品深入鑽研，對樂曲的她是著名的《梁山伯與祝英台》小提琴協奏曲鋼琴部分的首創及首演者。每次演奏《松花江上》時都熱淚盈眶。改編的廣東音樂《娛樂昇平》受到熱烈歡迎。
她在伴奏工作方面一直秉承前蘇聯著名聲樂家蘇石林所教導的原則：“伴奏應該是藝術指導，而又是演奏音符，是和合作者共同進入音樂意境，是音樂背景的共同創造者，要她和著名的小提琴家孔昭暉合作演奏的五首中國樂曲錄製成CD專輯，暢銷國內外。2004年她隨新加坡“百合女聲藝術團”參加在無錫古董的第七界國際合唱她雖人到晚年，仍“老驥伏櫪，志在千里”，猶如一朵綻放開已久的玫瑰，繼續散發餘香。
巫漪麗2019年4月20日晚上10點於新加坡逝世。享年89歲。
