Zhenyan Li

I’m a compose and dizi player, but you can also think of me as a storyteller! 🎭 I use music to tell stories that range from clear narratives to something more poetic and dreamlike. Rooted in the aesthetics of traditional East Asian theatre, my work plays with contrast, illusion and gesture Previous works include for City of London Sinfonia, Ensemble Modern, the LPO, the LSO, Lucerne Festival, Tête à Tête Festival, Rough for Opera, and the Beijing Music Festival.
