Hongxi Li is a pianist and interdisciplinary artist whose work spans solo performance, chamber music, orchestral collaboration and technology-led concert projects.

Her current practice explores how live music can interact with documentary film, projected imagery and theatrical light. Her recent project Bridging East and West, supported by the Presser Foundation Graduate Music Award, centers on the music of Chinese American composer Chen Yi.

Hongxi completed her Doctor of Musical Arts at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami, following studies at Mannes School of Music and New England Conservatory.
