ABOUT

Praised by The Baltimore Sun for her “impeccable technique…deeply expressive phrasing…and poetic weight," Sirena Huang is one of her generation’s most celebrated violinists. She brings not only technical brilliance and powerful artistry to the stage, but also a profound sense of connection to her audience. Sirena is the 2022 Gold Medalist of the 11th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, and was also awarded eight of the eleven special prizes.

Sirena made her solo debut with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra in 2004 at the age of nine and has since performed in 20 countries across three continents. She has been a soloist with numerous prestigious ensembles, including the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Shanghai, Russian, Evergreen, National Taiwan, and Singapore symphony orchestras, and the Staatskapelle Weimar in Germany.  An avid chamber musician and recitalist, Sirena has also been a guest artist at the Verbier, Marlboro, Montreal, Ravinia, Aspen, Newport, Music in the Mountains, and Eastern music festivals.  In the spring of 2025, Sirena made her Carnegie Hall recital debut in Zankel Hall to great acclaim.  Her debut recording of the same program with pianist Chih-Yi Chen on the Azica label will be released this season.  This season will also feature the world premiere of a work by Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) who she has commissioned to compose a work for her.  

Sirena has performed before world leaders, thinkers and humanitarians. She has appeared at the World Peace Conference held in Petra and at the Opening Ceremony of the Forum 2000 World Conference in Prague. In addition to her TED Talk in 2006, Sirena has been featured on numerous radio and television broadcasts, including WQXR’s McGraw-Hill Young Artists Showcase and NPR’s From the Top. She graduated from The Juilliard School, where she studied with Stephen Clapp, Sylvia Rosenberg and Itzhak Perlman and holds an Artist Diploma from Yale University’s School of Music, where she studied with Hyo Kang.

Sirena performs on a Guarneri del Gesù violin, Cremona 1739 “Kortschak”, which is on loan from Dr. Ryuji Ueno and Rare Violins In Consortium, Artists and Benefactors
Collaborative.
