李齊

旅美小提琴家李齊由日裔美籍的傳奇小提琴家 Midori Goto宓多里所發掘，他被小提琴泰斗海飛茲的弟子-法國傳奇小提琴大師皮耶阿摩亞Pierre Amoyal稱讚稱爲「一位具有真正天份的天才小提琴家」。
李齊的小提琴演奏也被形容為“以深沉的靈魂和熱情來演奏小提琴的音樂」。
李齊更被讚稱譽為日後樂壇的新星。
李齊所熟悉的曲目甚為廣泛，從巴洛克音樂到現代作品、探戈以及流行音樂與爵士不一而足，而他的演奏足跡更橫跨了三大洲。李齊於10歲時獲得了 Mitzi 基金會獎學金並就讀於茱莉亞音樂院。在茱莉亞音樂院之後，因健康因素返回台灣並隨後再於 2006 年轉至舊金山音樂院，隔年並轉到波士頓胡桃山藝術高中與新英格蘭音樂院。李齊在 2010年以全額獎學金考取西班牙最高等的音樂學府蘇菲亞皇后音樂院，師事名師 Marco Rizzi。李齊在馬德里學習期間結識了正在歐洲巡迴演出的世界著名小提琴家宓多里Midori Goto。Midori並邀請李齊在她的音樂會結束後給他上課，並鼓勵李齊轉到她所任教的南加州大學,因此李齊在西班牙習琴一年後便返回美國進入洛杉磯的南加大音樂系追隨宓多里習琴一直到畢業。李齊在南加大期間也在許多美國國內音樂比賽獲得頭獎和優異成績。李齊從南加州大學畢業後剛好是封閉世界的疫情開始大流行前，因此他回到了家鄉台灣繼續開展他的另一段音樂人生之路程。

李齊長期旅居歐美學習小提琴，在回台後便致力於推廣古典音樂，他除了每年固定於台北國家音樂廳、高雄衛武營、台中歌劇院、各地的文化中心等廳堂以小提琴為主搭配各種樂器的組合演奏之外，也經常以小提琴獨奏家身份與台灣國立交響樂團、台北市立交響樂團、台北市立管樂團、長榮交響樂團、勝利交響樂團和新逸交響樂團合作演出協奏曲。2024年5-6月李齊並應邀遠赴維也納和德國慕尼黑、弗萊堡和烏爾姆等城市巡迴演出。

李齊的首張小提琴演奏專輯《白色探戈》CD 於2024年11月29日由環球音樂製作發行，並連續數週獲得古典音樂銷售冠軍之榮銜。
李齊於南加大就讀音樂系期間，為了增加音樂與舞台表演的深度而到知名的南加大電影學院以及戲劇學院，選修了兩年的電影與戲劇表演相關課程。他也因緣際會於返台期間被經紀公司相中簽約，開闢了小提琴之餘的另一絢麗路線。
李齊目前除了職業小提琴家的身分之外也身兼演員、模特兒，更因為他亮眼的外型和高眺的身材而深受國際精品青睞並應邀與世界級品牌合作從事廣告、影片拍攝與代言。同時也在國際精品的各種特殊場合演奏小提琴。
這種不同於古典音樂殿堂的小提琴演奏經歷也讓李齊廣泛獲得各類型觀眾的熱情喜愛和歡迎。
李齊的粉絲遍佈全球，除了台灣的粉絲團之外，李齊日本粉絲團和洛杉磯李齊粉絲團也相繼在2023年成立應援李齊在台灣和各國的音樂會和各類活動。
