An omnivore when it comes to performing, Peyee Chen enjoys singing Monteverdi with lute and bass as much as singing Bernhard Lang with full electronic accompaniment.
Peyee is a keen exponent of vocal improvisation and performance art, and most recently performed in Martin Creeds’s exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, London, where she sang music by Martin for 30 minutes every hour for eight hours, three days a week for six weeks. Inspired by challenges, she has performed with poet Caroline Bergvall, on her Raga Dawn series; outdoors and starting at sunrise, with locations including the Isle of Skye, Tilbury docks. and the rooftops of the Red Cross Museum, Geneva.
Peyee performs internationally and is in great demand by many musicians and composers. She has performed at Berliner Philhrmonie, BBC Proms and the Aldeburgh Festival, with conductors such as Ingo Metzmacher, Simon Rattle and Francois-Xavier Roth. A former MA graduate at the University of York, Peyee currently lives in England.
