Hailed by The Dallas Morning News as “a musician with deeply felt and warmly shaped artistry,” 19-year-old Taiwanese-American violinist Steven Lu is quickly gaining recognition as one of America’s most promising and sought after young musicians for his striking musical poeticism and athletic virtuosity. He began studying violin at the age of five, and has since been the recipient of various prizes including the 2022 silver medal of the Lynn Harrell Competition, making solo appearances performing with orchestras in concert venues such as the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony. Currently, Steven is pursuing his Bachelors of Music in Violin Performance at the Colburn School with violinist Martin Beaver. Residencies include the Taos Chamber Music Festival as part of 19 young artists selected internationally to attend on full scholarship. Steven currently plays on an 1867 Vuillaume on generous loan from Dianne Rammon through the Colburn Foundation.
