"Left speechless after having the chance to watch and listen to Jean Huang close up." –The WBUR-FM (2020).

Taiwanese violinist Jean Huang's active performing career has brought her to concert halls internationally and throughout the United States. Huang holds Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral of Musical Arts degrees in Violin Performance with honors from the New England Conservatory with the Doctoral thesis topic "A Performative Analysis and the Critical Edition: Francis Poulenc Violin Sonata" Passionate for teaching, Huang currently maintains a private studio in Boston, with students ranging from six years old to adults. She also teaches violin lessons at the New England Conservatory School of Continuing Education and Preparatory School. 

“Superior leading.” –The Boston Musical Intelligencer (2019).

Maintaining an active performing career, Jean serves as the Concertmaster of the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra as well as the Phoenix Orchestra in Boston and received recognition for her leadership and artistry from Cape Cod Times and other prominent music critics. During the pandemic, Jean performed in 16 episodes of the "Chronophone," an online chamber music series on Twitch run by the Phoenix Orchestra, which covered Western music history from pre-baroque to modernity. Praised for her poised and expressive playing, Jean enjoys performing standard repertoire alongside contemporary music.

“A consummate artist -- so poised, in control, expressive, and exciting and moving to listen to” -Victor Rosenbaum (2018)

Jean loves performing, and believes music can provoke the wildest imagination. As a result, she often looks for a three-way connection between composer, performer, and audience. Jean is recognized for her lecture-recitals discussing topics such as "The Musician's Role," "Baroque Dances," and "The Evolutionary Violinist." During these lecture recitals, she combines virtuosic violin playing, her musicology background, and multi-media commentary that audience members of all experience levels can engage with.

“Our eyes and ears concentrated on the elegant and outgoing Huang.
With both serious attitude and a million-dollar smile, she gave a riveting account of the 28-minute ‘Turkish’ concerto.”
–Boston Musical Intelligencer (2022).

Praised for her “transcendent tone,” Jean’s recent concerto appearances include a sold-out Vaughan William’s Lark Ascending concert with the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra and Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.5 with the Music for Peace Orchestra.  Her other affiliations include Miclot Chamber Series, Vangarde Orchestra, and Anastasia String Quartet.

Wishing to flourish as a consummate musician rather than a violinist exclusively, Huang delves into all aspects of the field. In the summer of 2013, she took violin-making lessons and created her first violin based on a Guarnerius model. She enjoys sipping coffee while wandering around the Greater Boston area absorbing new inspiration from nature for her sound. This year, Jean recently joined her longtime friends and collaborators, cellist Carol Ou and violist/violinist Amy Galluzzo to form Trio Flamecrest.
