Nancy Zhou is lauded as one of today’s probing musical voices infused with searing virtuosity. With a robust online presence that seeks to invigorate appreciation for the art and science of the violin, her thoughtful musicianship resonates with a global audience in such a way that brings her on stage with leading orchestras around the world.
Nancy is currently fundraising for two exciting new projects:
The first is her debut CD recording, featuring a cohesive set of works written for solo violin by luminary composers including Johann Sebastian Bach, Béla Bartók, Fritz Kreisler, Eugène Ysaÿe, and John Corigliano. This album will showcase her unparalleled command of the violin, bringing a profound new perspective to these timeless pieces.
The second project, Retracing Steps: My Mother’s Oral Family History and the Folk Traditions of the Bouyei People, is a deeply personal and interdisciplinary endeavor. In collaboration with composer Vivian Fung, Nancy will commission a 25-minute composition for solo violin and electronics inspired by the oral family history of her mother’s Bouyei heritage.
