Li Binquan now heads an art development center at the Chinese Calligraphers Association devoted to promoting the ancient art and culture in Western countries.
Praised as the founder of Chinese music calligraphy, he has held many foreign audiences captive, engendering an appreciation for the abstract beauty of Chinese cursive script.
His works have been published in many influential publications including the People's Daily, the China & World Cultural Exchange and the China Collections, and also sold at many auctions.
In January 2011, Li brought an audio-visual feast to the Golden Hall of Vienna in cooperation with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.
In May 2011, Li together with many renowned Chinese artists and performers, conducted a Chinese Calligraphy Concert at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, marking the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Austria.
In September 2011, Li displayed his stylish calligraphy to the accompaniment of music for a group of important political figures worldwide during the Summer Davos Forum.
This January, his Chinese Calligraphy Concert 2017, accompanied by the Austria Rehal Symphony Orchestra, was held at the Beijing Theater.
In June, Li was invited to play Cao Xueqin, a writer in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), in a dramatization of the novel Dream of Red Mansions. He recreated the poems in the beginning and end of the novel in the drama directed by Li Shaohong and preformed at the Water Cube Olympic swimming venue.
