He has won several prestigious awards, including silver medal at the 11th Tchaikovsky International Competition and the 2001 Naumburg Competition, and was invited onto the BBC New Generation Artists Scheme during 2001-2003.

Li-Wei has enjoyed successful artistic collaborations with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and Marek Janowski, the Osaka Philharmonic, the Prague Symphony and Antoni Wit, the Halle Orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony and the BBC Philharmonic. He continues to be a regular guest with the China Philharmonic, the Sydney Symphony and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, working with highly acclaimed conductors such as Yan Pascal Tortelier, Vassily Sinaisky, Marcello Viotti, Alexander Lazarev and the late Lord Menuhin.
