Wenting Kang

Described by The New York Times as an “excellent violist” with a “dark glowing sound,” and praised by The Strad as “a standout player and brilliant arranger”, violist Wenting Kang continues to impress on the world stage. A prizewinner at top international competitions, she brings depth, elegance, and expressive clarity to performances across major festivals and concert halls worldwide.

Her debut CD recording with pianist Sergei Kvitko “Mosaic” received many positive reviews, among which the Gramophone Magazine noted “Part of the allure is her golden and glowing tone but the subtlety of her shading is just as transfixing.” “A terrific programme in every way.”

Ms. Kang has appeared as soloist collaborating with major orchestras such as Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid, Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra.

Ms. Kang has been appointed as Viola Faculty at the New England Conservatory in Boston starting from September 2024. During 2016-2024, Kang has been active as assistant professor alongside Nobuko Imai at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia in Madrid. She has taught masterclasses for viola and chamber music in prestigious institutions such as University Mozarteum, Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Kunst-Universität Graz, Accademia Stauffer in Cremona, and Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.
