She also works as a tour manager for the Swiss Animato Orchestra.
As a violinist, she has performed in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, The United States and Singapore.

Another cross-arts project Hoei Lien was involved in, was “Salon Musical”, a programme of music and theatre which captures the spirit, elegance and splendour of a 19th century Parisian musical soiree. From 2013 until 2016 Hoei Lien was managing director and principal player of the Silk Street Sinfonia, an unconducted chamber orchestra with a core group of twelve strings. The Silk Street Sinfonia is made up of young international musicians who met in London, many of whom are laureates of international competitions and all of whom enjoy busy careers.
They travelled to Lucerne and Zurich in September 2015 for a tour where they have recorded their debut CD in 2014.

She had her debut appearance on British radio in 2015 on BBC radio3's "In Tune" with Craig Leon playing tracks live from the album "Bach to Moog". This led to another collaboration with Craig Leon on his composition “Nommos”, a mixture of electronic music, voice and string quartet.
