American violinist Sirena Huang is rapidly building an international reputation as a young string virtuoso of outstanding potential - praised for her "impeccable technique, deeply expressive phrasing, and poetic weight."

A graduate of the Juilliard School, where she studied with Itzhak Perlman and Sylvia Rosenberg, Sirena is the Gold Medalist of the 11th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis — where she was also awarded eight of the eleven special prizes.

In 2017, she was awarded First Prize at the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, and later that year, she was the winner of the New York Concert Artist Worldwide Debut Audition. She was also the First Prize Gold Medalist at the 6th International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, as well as a top prize winner at Singapore International Violin Competition and the Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition.

She has been featured as a soloist with more than fifty prestigious ensembles, including the New York Philharmonic, the Symphony Orchestras of Cleveland, Baltimore, Shanghai, Russia, and Singapore, and the Staatskapelle Weimar in Germany. She has appeared as a guest artist at the Verbier Music Festival, Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Eastern Music Festival, Sarasota Arts Series, Albuquerque Chamber Music Festival, “The Great Music for a Great City” series in New York City, and many others.
