Finding Your Musical Ground

Regression & Stagnancy

CLASSICAL WORKSHOP

  • Bin Huang, one of the most outstanding violinists from China, first came to international attention at age fourteen when she won the Junior Wieniawski International Violin Competition in Lublin, Poland, sharing First Prize with Maxim Vengerov. She has maintained international prominence, winning both the Paganini International Violin Competition in Genoa, Italy, and the Munich (ARD) International Music Competition in Munich, Germany. Bin Huang’s live recording of the Beethoven Violin Concerto on Paganini’s own violin the "Cannon," released by Dynamic label (2013) is the only existing live recording captured with that legendary instrument. Diapason praised it as "an interpretation of the highest class." Bin Huang’s Baroque Violin Favourites released by Naxos (2003) was given the Editor’s choice in the American Record Guide. Her recording of The Christmas Story on Dynamic (2013) and The Complete Mozart Violin Sonatas on Vermeer (2017) has also won critical acclaim. As an active chamber musician, Bin Huang has played in the Marlboro Music Festival, where she performed with members of the Beaux Arts Trio and the Juilliard and Guarneri String Quartet.

    Bin was a violin professor at the Shanghai Conservatory and the Eastman School of Music. She is currently the Chair of Orchestral Instruments Department at the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Bin Huang has given master classes throughout the USA, Asia, and Europe, and has served as an artist jury member in the 12th Stradivari Violin Making Competition in Cremona, the 2nd China Violin Making Competition in Beijing, and a jury member in the 53rd and 55th Paganini International Violin Competition in Genoa, Italy.
