Many parents in Hong Kong arrange for their children to learn musical instruments. The 27-year-old Hao Lixi "loves" the violin about 20 years ago and is determined to become a violinist.
He attended music school during his stay in Hong Kong, and went to the United Kingdom and the United States for further studies after the age of 14.
After graduating from the United States with a bachelor's degree in 2017, I returned to Hong Kong feeling lost. Fortunately, the following year, the music festival met with friends and mentors, convinced that I have the ability to move people's hearts with music, and then went to the Yale University School of Music to study for a master's degree.
His father is a dentist and his elder brother is an engineer. In the entire family, he is the only one who chooses music as his lifelong career. Some relatives and friends say a little bit about this, but he believes that "money is not important."
After several years of hard work, he was selected as the winner of the "Young Musicians Recruitment" violin category by the Chuiyi Music Club established with the concept of the famous cellist Li Chuiyi. This month, he will perform with famous musicians in the Daguan.
He thanked his mother and elder brother for their support, and hoped to continue to develop chamber music, open a personal music festival in the future, and continue to move people's hearts with music.
It turns out that the music department can contribute to society, and I have the ability to touch people and make him feel better.

Received a bachelor's degree in 2017 and returned to Hong Kong for one year

At the age of 14, he went to England to study at Wells Cathedral School, a music boarding school, and won many prizes in piano and violin competitions.
Seemingly "smooth the wind," he admitted frankly that after graduating from the Mannes School of Music in the United States in 2017, he returned to Hong Kong for a year to settle down. It's worth reading again."
Hao Lixi described that although the violinist does not have a fixed salary, he "gets food" and can even move people's hearts with music.

The Schubert piano trio moved the audience to tears
In 2018, he and two friends participated in the Kneisel Hall Music Festival (Kneisel Hall Music Festival) in the United States. The Schubert piano trio that spent the entire summer rehearsing was appreciated by many audiences, and some people thanked them after the show, which made him decide to use music. For a lifelong career, "It's very touching to have audiences go to the backstage to shout. It turns out that the music department can contribute to society. I have the ability to touch people and make him feel better." In the festival, he even recognized a Yale. The university music tutor strengthened his idea of returning to the U.S. for further studies. "If you don't want to teach me to improve my violin playing skills, I have heartfelt encouragement."
