Professional Violinist & Violin Teacher Calvin Tsang was featured as a soloist on Charlotte's (NC) classical radio station, W-DAV, in the "Mainstreet Sessions", performing virtuosic show-piece Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate (you can listen to it under "Repertoire"). A former student of renowned pedagogue Almita Vamos, he performed with various high-level US orchestras, including San Diego Symphony, Charlotte Symphony, Virginia Symphony & Des Moines Metro Opera. Starting violin at age 8, he quickly became a rising star, being interviewed by Austin's local TV station only 2 years later. In his formative years, he garnered many honors/awards, such as performing as concertmaster of his local schools, region orchestras and most notably, concertmaster of Texas' All-State Orchestra only as a high school freshman. Born in Philippines, he hails from Austin & Chicago, where he completed Bachelor's & Master's degrees in Violin Performance (Northwestern University). Calvin has many years of experience teaching violin lessons to students of all ages & levels, currently accepting new students in Vaughan / Richmond Hill / Markham / North York & Toronto area (Suzuki / RCM ). In his spare time, he is a fan of the weather & America's Got Talent. He dreams one day of being on a talent show judging panel :)
