Yi Wei is a chinese Conductor based in London

'Yi has a virtuoso technique which allows him to tackle any repertoire that is put in front of him. His work ethic is extraordinary and he prepares with great thoroughness, often conducting complex scores from memory. His ear is excellent, and very little gets by him in this respect.’

‘Yi Wei’s passionate conducting earned him the loudest applause of the night when this reviewer attended – an undeniable testament to the orchestra’s brilliance and his leadership.’’

‘Yi conducted Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. He was extremely well prepared and conducted the whole piece by memory. He showed great confidence and appeared very convincing to the musicians. His gesture is accurate although very flexible. With strong stability in his pulsation, he is able to keep the tension throughout the piece which demonstrates a high level of maturity.’
