After several rounds of auditions, the Belgian violinist and laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition Sylvia Huang has been appointed La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra’s new concertmaster.
From 2012 to 2014 Sylvia Huang was a member of the Belgian National Orchestra, where she was promoted to second violin soloist. She has been a member of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam since August 2014. Passionately fond of chamber music, in September 2014 she and three colleagues founded the GoYa Quartet. They perform regularly at home and abroad. In 2019 she was awarded the Audience Prize in the violin edition of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Today, at the age of 28, she joins Saténik Khourdoïan as La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra’s concertmaster.
