As a performer, Lih Qun is one of the few cellists who is sought after for her Loop station cello performances. She uses pedals and effects to create pieces that explore the full vocal and percussive range of the cello, combining intricately shifting textures, cinematic orchestration with soundscape. She works with a large palette that shifts effortlessly between modern classical, krautrock, sonic environment and electronica. She has an implicit understanding of how to mix genres and unusual instrumentations to create a dynamic yet very human and touching soundtrack.

Lih Qun has created and performed live soundtracks for dance theatre and new circus productions, and toured all over the world, playing venues such as The Barbican ( London), Queens Hall Southbank (London), Apollo Theatre (London) Stanisklavsky Theatre for Bolshoi Danceinversion festival ( Moscow), La Philharmonie and La Seine Musicale (Paris), Zorlu Arts Centre (Istanbul), SESC theatre (Sao Paulo), and working with the famous choreographer Yan Li Ping to create the Chinese/Berlin fusion opera ‘Dynamic Huang Shang’.

She has also toured internationally with bands such as Agnes Obel, Raz O’hara, Die Wilde Jagd and Federico Albanese.
