Stéphane TRAN NGOC
Welcome to violonist Stéphane Tran Ngoc's website
When the Washington Post writes that « Stéphane Tran Ngoc has this magical quality where the instrument becomes an extension of the spirit», it is the musician's profound engagement and his luminous playing that are celebrated.
A musician who is constantly in search for a perfect balance, allowing for expression at every moment, Stephane Tran Ngoc has shared his artistry and his passion in over thirty countries, as a soloist as well as a chamber musician, playing as a soloist with orchestra, in sonatas or in a quartet in the world's leading halls -Salle Pleyel in Paris,
Carnegie Hall in New York, Suntory Hall in Tokyo…
His training includes the great music schools: the Paris Conservatoire, where he is awarded a First Prize at 15, followed by the Brooklyn College and the Juilliard School of New York. In these schools, he learns with the great masters, such as Itzhak Perlman and Dorothy Delay. International prizes follow: Grand Prix Jacques Thibaud, Premio Paganini, Artists International of New York and "Grand Prix du Disque".
Naturally, his passion to express himself through music leads him to teach. There also, his path is outstanding, soon teaching in the Lyon CNSM in France for several years before joining the
Lawrence University Conservatory of Music
in the US.
He plays on a 1709
Gobetti violin
which has been recognized as a highlight of great Venetian violin making.
