Canadian violinist Lucy Wang has garnered praise as an artist whose “technical prowess, tonal mastery and stage presence can come as no surprise to anyone who has seen her work” (Peace Arch News). A native of Vancouver, B.C., she is a founding member of the Viano Quartet, recipients of the prestigious 2025 Avery Fisher Career Grant, First Prize Laureates of the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, and Bowers artists at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center from 2024-2027.
Lucy has performed as soloist, chamber, and orchestral musician in venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall, Wigmore Hall, Izumi Hall, Carnegie Hall, and Konzerthaus Berlin. During the 24/25 season, Lucy will make debuts with the Viano Quartet at Alice Tully Hall for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, David Geffen Hall with Sir Stephen Hough, and other major venues across the U.S. and Canada, including Wolf Trap and the Royal Conservatory’s Koerner Hall in Toronto, while serving as the inaugural June Goldsmith Quartet-in-Residence for Vancouver's Music in the Morning series. She is a recent graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music’s Nina von Maltzahn quartet in residence program and holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Colburn Conservatory of Music, where she studied with Martin Beaver.
In addition to touring with the Viano Quartet, Lucy maintains an active individual presence on social media, with over 50 million views on her videos and over 600,000 followers across various platforms. Reaching people across six continents, Lucy aims to craft a unique path as an artist that builds bridges across different musical and cultural communities.
