28-year-old Chinese-American violinist Luke Hsu is building an international reputation as a rising young virtuoso of outstanding potential.

A graduate of the Shepherd School of Music, the New England Conservatory and London’s Royal Academy of Music where he studied with Cho-Liang Lin, Donald Weilerstein and Rodney Friend, and current student of Pierre Amoyal at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, Luke is a former major prize winner at the Paganini, Michael Hill, Carl Nielsen and Wieniawski International Violin Competitions - and in September of this year was awarded 3rd prize at the 10th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis.

His recent debuts include solo performances with the Houston Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Auckland Philharmonia, Teatro Carlo Felice di Genova Orchestra, Odense Symphony, Poznan Philharmonic and the Victoria Symphony.

As a composer, Luke recently premiered a complete piano quartet - and is currently working on a trio for viola, flute and harp.
