Joey Li has found immense joy in being a member of Areté since 2022, and he considers it a distinct privilege to create music alongside such exceptionally talented musicians and vocalists within the ensemble.

Although his primary instruments are piano and pipe organ, Joey grew up singing in church choirs and even tried his hand directing a small choir as an organist. He continues to enjoy making music with various choral groups and as a bass section lead in local church choirs. Joey occasionally lends his skills as a piano accompanist or steps in as a church organist when the opportunity arises. More recently, he has been attempting to keep a harpsichord in tune.

Joey received an MBA from University of Virginia and a degree in biochemistry from Harvard, where he met his wife, Jennifer Li, who also sings in Areté. His professional background is in customer insights, market research, and analytics in healthcare. Outside of work and music, Joey can be found wrangling the household cats or visiting Disney theme parks.
