About
Teresa Yang recently graduated as a music scholar and Head Prefect at Meriden School. She is currently a scholarship recipient at the Sydney Conservatorium’s Rising Stars Program, where she studies with Janet Davies. Teresa has loved learning the violin since age 5 and previously studied with Professor Shixiang (Peter) Zhang. Teresa is an accomplished violinist and a winner of many competitions, including the John Curro National Youth Concerto Competition, the KPO Concerto Competition, the Kendall National Violin Competition (Junior), the Melbourne Recital Centre Bach Competition and the NSW Young Virtuoso Award.
As a young and emerging artist, Teresa is open to exploring a wide variety of repertoire. She enjoys musical opportunities, from engagements as a soloist with orchestras across Australia to proudly participating in the Australian Youth Orchestra Programs, where she had the privilege of being the Chamber Orchestra’s Concertmaster during the 2024 National Music Camp. Her string quartet, Lumina, was also a finalist in Musica Viva’s Strike A Chord competition.
Teresa has participated in masterclasses with Cho-Liang Lin, Emily Sun, Satu Vänskä and Andrew Haveron. Outside of music, Teresa enjoys running, reading and time with friends. She looks forward to her next adventure with the AYO on the International Tour.
