22 MAY 2020 (TORONTO, ON) - Australian-Chinese violin sensation Christian Li releases his second track, ‘Fisherman’s Harvest Song’, out now on Decca Classics. To accompany the release, Christian features in a brand new video featuring footage from his recording sessions, filmed earlier this year.

‘Fisherman’s Harvest Song’ is a traditional folk tune inspired by the fisherman’s harvest in the South China Sea and adapted by contemporary Chinese composer Li Zili.

Speaking about the selection of the piece, Christian says, “I feel very connected to my heritage when I play this piece. The beautiful melody in the opening shows the Fisherman’s strong emotion after he returns to his village after spending time at sea. I love being able to share his song through the singing quality of the violin!”

Like many other 12-year-old schoolboys, Christian enjoys swimming, football and reading, and appreciating the outdoor lifestyle of his home in Melbourne. But quite unlike most pre-teens, Christian’s gift for the violin surpasses that of even the most skilled soloist.

Born in Melbourne in 2007, Christian first picked up a violin aged five. He came to international attention in 2018 when he became the youngest-ever winner of the Menuhin Competition, winning the joint Junior 1st Prize in Geneva, aged only 10. Christian performed a movement of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with a professional orchestra, play-conducting from the violin. Videos of his performances have since achieved millions of views on YouTube.
