Vita

Praised for her „technically flawless playing“ and her „refined playful sensuousness“ (Peter Korfmacher, Leipziger Volkszeitung), Australian violinist Victoria Wong is one of the finest musicians of her generation. She began her musical journey at the age of four under the guidance of Rachel Miller and has since studied under esteemed teachers such as Goetz Richter, Ulf Wallin and most recently Nora Chastain at the University of the Arts Berlin.

In addition to being the winner of the 25th Gyarfas Competition, Victoria is a prizewinner of several international violin competitions such as the Mirecourt International Violin Competition (2021), the International Michael Hill Competition (2019), the International Arthur Grumiaux Competition (2018) and the International Max Rostal Competition (2015). As a soloist, she has performed with the Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin, the Jenaer Philharmonie, the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Lorraine and the Brandenburger Symphoniker.

Victoria’s versatility as a musician has led to invitations to play as guest concertmaster with several orchestras such as the Berliner Symphoniker, Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Sinfonisches Kammerorchester Berlin. As a substitute, she performs regularly with the Berlin Philharmonic.

Since 2023, Victoria is assistant teacher to Nora Chastain at the University of the Arts Berlin.
