Anita Chen is one of the rarest talents in orchestra music: she is equally adept on two instruments, the piano and the violin.
Born in New Jersey in 1991, Anita's initial musical training at the age of four was with her mother. By the age of five, she added the violin. By the age of seven, her mother retired and turned Anita over to the Julliard School of Music, Pre-College Division.
Anita launched her career as a professional soloist at Carnegie Hall in 2002, where she performed on both the violin and the piano with the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble. |

Returning to Carnegie Hall in 2009, Anita made her recital debut in a program featuring Cimarosa, Mozart, Schubert, Liszt, Prokofiev, and Markov - performing half of the concert on the piano and the balance on the violin.
Anita plays with style, warmth, and imagination. And whether it's Mozart (who was equally adept at both instruments) or Saint-Seans, piano or violin, she rewards her audiences with performances that are impressive and inspiring. |
