Winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition (2009) and the Yehudi Menuhin Competition (2008), Ray Chen is among the most compelling young violinists today. His recent performances including the debut recital at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. enraptured both the audiences and the critics. Ray Chen can do pretty much anything he wants on the violin –The Washington Post. From the first note there was no doubt of being in the presence of something very special –The Strad. Maestro Vengerov, who met Chen while serving on the jury of the Menuhin Competition, immediately engaged him to perform with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra in St. Petersburg as well as at the opening concert of the Menuhin Competition in April 2010 in Oslo.
Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, Ray Chen was accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music at the age of 15, where he continues to work with the legendary violinist Aaron Rosand. He plays the 1721 “Macmillan” Stradivarius provided as part of the award for winning the 2008-09 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York.
