Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Toronto, the Li Delun Music Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting multicultural exchange between East and West through musical activities.

The Foundation is named after the renowned conductor Li Delun, who founded the first symphony orchestra of the People's Republic of China. Today, the Foundation is renowned for hosting high-calibre musical events and also promotes the popularisation of classical music through concerts and events. For example, the annual "East-West New Year Concert" at George Weston Hall brings outstanding musicians from China and around the world to Toronto. In addition to establishing the Toronto Festival Orchestra, which provides talented young musicians with the opportunity to collaborate with experienced professionals, the Foundation also provides a platform for young Canadian musicians to perform solo recitals and various other performance opportunities.

The Li Delun Music Foundation has also hosted masterclasses and workshops by internationally renowned artists such as Lang Lang, Chen Sa, Haochen Zhang, Bruce Liu and Professor Lee Kum-Sing, and others.
