This young Beijing-born violinist has cut a swath of artistry across continents, throwing her whole body into her performances, at times all bravura bravado, then drawing sighs from the strings that leave audiences hanging on every note. As the Seattle Times put it, “This young woman could outplay the devil.” “Discover an artist whose 'extraordinarily lush tone, lyrical quality, pyrotechnic skills, and emotional delivery' blend into a phenomenally flawless performance” (The Virginia Gazette).
