Mission Statement

The mission of the International Performing Arts is to present multicultural music and performing artists of the highest caliber to the greater Puget Sound area. We provide opportunities for professional and young musicians to utilize their music talent to serve their communities.

About This Cause

The International Performing Arts (IPA) was established by Cellist Zhenlun Li in 2007. The forefather of the IPA was the Zhenlun Cello Orchestra also founded by Mr. Li. For the past 10 years, we have successfully presented numerous concerts for world class musicians at Benaroya Hall in Seattle and other music venues in the Pacific Northwest and in Canada. We have been also in collaboration with the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Chinese Orchestra, Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and many organizations in the North America, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Asian countries. All of our concerts have been well accepted and applauded. The following are examples of our recent concerts: 1.
