Lun Li, violin

Presented by the Utsey Chamber Music Series at Clemson University.

Violinist Lun Li is committed to creating thought-provoking, boundary-pushing concert experiences for contemporary audiences around the world. A native of Shanghai, China, he won the 2021 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions, along with the Paul A. Fish Memorial Prize and the Buffalo Chamber Music Society Prize, and was named John French Violin Chair at YCA. A member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program, Lun has toured extensively with the Society.

In the first half of the program, he will perform solo works, which include Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 2 and Tessa Lark’s Jig and Pop. He will be joined by Brooks Center Director Emerita Lillian Harder in the second half for César Franck’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in A Major. Lun plays on the 1735 Stradivarius “Samazeuilh” violin on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.

FREE and open to the public. Ticket reservations open two weeks prior to the performance.
