Wheaton College Artist Series: Ray Chen, Violin

Taiwanese-Australian violinist Ray Chen has appeared with major orchestras around the world and performed at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano (Japan) and the 2012 Nobel Prize concert. “Ray Chen can do pretty much anything he wants on the violin,” proclaimed the Washington Post.

With two million SoundCloud followers and over 100,000 Likes on Facebook, Ray Chen is expanding the classical music audience by increasing its appeal to the young generation. His series of quirky, online videos has proven an effective tool in broadening the reach of classical music through humor and education.

Ray, joined by pianist Julio Elizalde, will perform works of Beethoven, de Falla, and more.
