As a consummate artist, Taiwanese violinist Jean Huang Baverstam is equally passionate about all three career roles: performer, music scholar, and educator.
Jean holds a Doctoral of Musical Arts degree in Violin Performance from the New England Conservatory, and her active performing career has brought her to concert halls internationally and has impacted listeners throughout the United States. “(I was) left speechless after having the chance to watch and listen to Jean Huang close up” is how WBUR described her performance. Huang serves as the Concertmaster of multiple orchestras including the Brookline Symphony and Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra and, has received recognition from local prominent newspapers and music critics.
Praised for her emotive and expressive playing, Jean enjoys presenting standard repertoire alongside contemporary music. Finding the common language and connection between professional musicians and music-lovers alike invigorates her passion. This has led to valuable experiences such as a residency at the Chamber Music Conference at the Colgate University.
Passionate for teaching, Huang currently serves as the adjunct professor at the Roger Williams University. She is also violin faculty at the New England Conservatory School of Expanded Education and Preparatory School, as well as the Project STEP.
“Our eyes and ears concentrated on the elegant and outgoing Huang. With both serious attitude and a million-dollar smile, she gave a riveting account of the 28-minute ‘Turkish’ concerto.” – Boston Musical Intelligencer (2022).
Praised for her “transcendent tone,” Jean’s recent concerto appearances include a sold-out Vaughan William’s Lark Ascending concert, Mozart sinfonia Concertante concert, and Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aris concert with the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra and Brookline Symphony, and Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.5 with the Music for Peace Orchestra. Her other affiliations include Miclot Chamber Series, Vangarde Orchestra, Anastasia String Quartet, and a founding member of Trio Flamecrest.
