A performer, a teacher, a liver-of-life to the absolute fullest, a traveler, and a musician – what you should begin asking yourself when reading up on renown violinist Chee-Yun is what can’t she do? Last week Chee-Yun lead the Dallas Chamber Symphony in a performance of The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, which was conducted by Richard McKay.
“It is one of the most exciting repertoires that I’ve ever learned to perform, and I love playing it every single time. It is very interactive.”
Though Chee-Yun has traveled literally all over the world, bringing her passion and her music to a multitude of audiences, her beautiful gift that’s afforded her so many other-worldly opportunities (did I mentioned she guest appeared in Curb Your Enthusiasm? See 2:26) also keeps her grounded as she continues to grow.
“Music definitely humbles me. The more I learn about it, I feel like there’s so much more to learn. I’m not there yet – and I love playing it.
Chee-Yun is a seasoned solo-performer, but there’s just something about the collaborative efforts of many that make performances that much more special and fun to her.
“I love having a lot of people on stage with me, and obviously I like to have a lot of people in the audience,” Chee-Yun said excitedly. “Live concerts are about the energy and the exchange of energy…of people on stage and in the audience. There’s so much communication…Live performance is exciting and spontaneous.”
