______________________________
Performing with “unerring beauty” (The Classical Music Network), international prize-winning violinist Rachell Ellen Wong is recognized as an “emerging artist to watch and seek out” (Early Music America). Her virtuosic performances span the musical spectrum, and she is known for applying historically informed practices to music of all periods.

Originally from Seattle, Washington, Rachell has been a featured soloist with orchestras across the United States and abroad. Notable concerts include performances with the Orquesta Sinfónica UCR in Costa Rica, the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Panamá, tours with the New Zealand String Quartet, and recitals with world renowned pianists Anton Nel and Byron Schenkman.

Rachell was a prize winner in the XXI International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig, Germany, and has also won grand prizes in the 52nd Sorantin International String Competition, and the International Crescendo Music Awards. An avid chamber musician, Rachell regularly performs on the chamber music series Byron Schenkman and Friends in Seattle’s Benaroya Hall, and performs with New Amsterdam Consort, an emerging New York City based string ensemble committed to performing the overlooked consort-style music of the seventeenth century. She is also co-founder of Delirium, an unusual string quartet performing solely on gut strings, playing music spanning from Haydn to Bartok.

Rachell is a proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship at The Juilliard School in the Historical Performance program. She holds degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, where she was a full scholarship Starling Distinguished Violinist recipient, and from Indiana University, where she was a full scholarship Jacobs Fellow recipient. In her free time, she loves to explore her multi-racial heritage by studying diverse musical styles, including the Scottish fiddle.
