Andy Tsao

I’m a violin performing artist, now based in West Midlands, UK. Trained in Trinity college of music (Laban), mentored by the reknown Hungarian master Eszter Katona. Active in Classical playing In Orchestra, string quartet and solo recital. As I was surrounded by musicians network in London, I studied Jazz and improvisation skills. My passion in Jazz, rock and modern music has led me to jazz projects. I became the lead violin in the group called The Vultures, our album Three Mothers are available for streaming on Spotify. My style is unique, striking a balance between the classical and modern. I favour the tone, a sound that can move a person, my technique hence is built upon it. My lifelong interest in meditation and neuroscience also helped me understand intuition in a deeper sense, which allows me to tap into the music I’m playing. Oftentimes violin playing is based on someone else’s written work, but I tend to think no two people can play the same piece in identical expression.
