Dr. Ching-Hsuan Wang is a Taiwanese violinist redefining the boundaries between classical, jazz, and world music. Her debut album Nikolai Kapustin's String Works: Violin Sonata Op. 70 and String Quartet No. 1, Op. 88 (2020) was praised by the Downbeat award-winning composer Mike Conrad as the violinist who "captures the feeling of spontaneity that is at the core of jazz music." The album includes her solo performances and her co-founded cross-genre group Dynamix String Quartet. Equally a scholar and performer, her doctoral dissertation is one of the rare studies on Kapustin’s string music, showcasing her pioneering voice in genre-blending violin repertoire.

She was featured on the Downbeat award-winning jazz orchestra All Angles Orchestra’s original album New Angle (2017), recorded with Grammy-nominated trumpeter Alex Sipiagin; on Annie Chen’s album Pisces the Dreamer (2014); and with the classic soul band The Burroughs on Got to Feel (2018). She has performed at international venues including Blue Note China and major concert halls across China. She also premiered works by composers such as Stephanie Ann Boyd and was a featured soloist with the Greeley Chamber Orchestra.

As a composer and cultural ambassador, Wang brings a unique voice to contemporary strings. Her work explores Taiwanese folk roots, world music traditions, and electric violin performance.
