Li Chuanyun

Exhilarating violin masterpieces against the Hong Kong skyline. Li Chuanyun plays the supreme tests of artistry for any violinists - Paganini's 24 Caprices for solo violin and unaccompanied sonatas by Bach and Ysaÿe - at the 55th floor of Two IFC.

Li won the first prize of the Fifth Wieniawski International Youth Violin Competition when he was 11, and has given recitals and played with leading orchestras since, including the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under Valery Gergiev and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Neeme Järvi.
