Join us for a violin master class featuring guest artist Minghuan Xu. Xu is program director of strings and assistant teaching professor of violin at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts, where she has helped shape a vibrant, internationally recognized string program. Her studies were at institutions such as the Curtis Institute of Music, the Oberlin Conservatory, Northwestern University and Stony Brook University.

Xu is a dynamic performer and educator whose wide-ranging career spans solo, chamber, and contemporary music across five continents. Her expressive artistry and versatility have taken her to venues such as Carnegie Hall, Symphony Space, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution, with many festival appearances as well.  She has toured extensively throughout China, South America, and Europe, and her performances have been featured on NPR, WFMT, and CBC.
