About
Lili is a passionate violinist undertaking her first year at the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) under the tutelage of Adam Chalabi. Beginning her musical journey at the age of four, Lili’s love and enthusiasm for music have continued to flourish. She began her tertiary studies at the University of Queensland (UQ) in 2021, studying for a Bachelor of Music (Honours), where she received the Kinnane Music Scholarship. Throughout her study at UQ, she has been awarded the Pollett String Prize in 2022 and 2023, the Sleath String Prize in 2023, as well as a Dean’s Commendation of Academic Excellence for 2023. Lili takes great pride in participating in the Australian Youth Orchestra programs, including the National Music Camp, Seasons programs and the Momentum ensemble in 2023 as part of the Amiti String Quartet in which they completed a residency at the Coffs Harbour Conservatorium. This year, Amiti participated in the Chamber players program, and Lili also participated in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Professional Immersion program offered through AYO. These programs have been invaluable to her in forming friendships, professional connections and learning experiences. She is incredibly excited to participate in 2025 AYO programs, including the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra fellowship, Summer Season and the International Tour.
