Hobby

Yuzheng Wang studied violin with his mother since childhood. At the age of ten, he studied violin with Prof. Zhinuo Ding, of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, for a total of twelve years. He has participated in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's extracurricular string orchestra for elementary school students and children's choir, and was once the principal violin of the Central University of Finance and Economics Symphony Orchestra. He is now a member of the University of Chicago Chamber Orchestra. Currently, he is interested in Baroque violin performance.

If today is your birthday, then congratulations! You will receive a Happy Birthday song played on the violin!
