Peyee Chen

An omnivore when it comes to performing, soprano Peyee Chen enjoys singing Monteverdi with lute and
bass viol as much as singing Bernhard Lang with electronics and electric bass. Up for physical challenges,
she has performed with poet Caroline Bergvall on her Raga Dawn series, outdoors and starting before
sunrise. She is interested in vocal and physical improvisation, DIY electronic instruments, and installation
and performance art, recently performing in Martin Creed’s exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s London gallery,
where she sang music by Martin for 30 minutes every hour, eight hours a day, two or three days each week
for six weeks.

As a soloist, Peyee has performed at venues and festivals such as the Philharmonie de Paris, Munich
Biennale, Pierre Boulez Saal, Konzerthaus Berlin, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Lucerne
Festival, Adelaide Festival, Spitalfields Festival, Big Ears Festival, Rewire Festival, with ensembles such as
Ensemble intercontemporain, Ensemble Musikfabrik, Klangforum Wien, Quatuor Bozzini, Ensemble Proton
Bern, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra, Gavin Bryars Ensemble, and
Crash Ensemble.

As an ensemble singer, she is a core member of Schola Heidelberg, and has also performed with EXAUDI,
BBC Singers, RIAS Kammerchor, Det Norske Solistkor, together with groups such as Ensemble Modern,
Ensemble Recherche, Ensemble Nikel, SWR Experimentalstudio, Ensemble Resonanz, and Symphoniker
Hamburg. These have included performances at the Bregenzer Festspiele, Ultima Festival, Berliner
Philharmonie, Salzburg Festival, Elbphilharmonie, Philharmonie Köln, Festival d’Automne, Ruhrtriennale,
MaerzMusik, BBC Proms, Aldeburgh Festival, and the Schwetzingen Festival.
