Years of Music Education
I have studied violin for 11 years, most recently with Professor Chen Zhao of the San Francisco Symphony and Conservatory of Music, where I attended the Pre-College Program (2023–2025). In the 2024–25 season, I served as co-concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I studied with Professor Michael Ma, former Head of Strings at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and Ms. Li Junjun. In 2022, I earned the Fellowship of Trinity College London (FTCL) Level 7 Diploma in Violin Performance.
After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2022, I became active in Gunn High School’s music program, serving as concertmaster of the String, Chamber, and Symphony Orchestras (2022–2025). In March 2024, I led the Chamber Orchestra at the National Orchestra Cup in New York City, where we won the Grand Champion title, and I received the Best High Strings Soloist award. I was also a member of the CASMEC High School Symphony Orchestra in 2023.
As a soloist, I earned a Command Performance at the 2023 CMEA Solo Festival and performed at the 2024 Junior Bach Festival. I have also participated in masterclasses with Lin Cho-Liang and Wang Liang. Beyond classical music, I enjoy programming, composing, piano, video games, and biking. I aspire to merge my interests in music and software to create technology that inspires people to share and make art.
