Laureate of the prestigious 2015 Queen Elisabeth International Violin Competition, Taiwanese violinist William Wei is quickly building an international solo career. With inherent musicality, liberated virtuosity, refined sensibility, and shimmering dynamism, he has been expressing his unique voice to the world. Westdeutsche Zeitung described William as “proved to be a virtuoso but a special and sensitive interpreter at the same time;” Wei has collaborated as a soloist with leading conductors and orchestras such as Belgium National Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Eliahu Inbal, Gilbert Varga, Marin Alsop, Gil Shaham, Nai-Yuan Hu, Cho-Liang Lin, Ray Chen, Pei-Yao Wang, Vikingur Ólafsson and Jörg Widmann. William plays on a Stradivari, 1722 ex “Joachim-Elman,” kindly loaned to him by the Chimei Foundation in Taiwan.


Silver medalist of the 6th Sendai International Competition in Japan, Taiwanese American pianist Evan Wong has performed in recitals and concerts throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. He has also performed as a soloist with orchestras, including the Sendai Philharmonic, Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, and National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, and released his first solo album under the Acousence Label in Germany in 2020. Mr. Wong holds degrees from the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, Northwestern University, The Juilliard School, and the New England Conservatory.
