OSU Assistant Professor of Violin Kia-Hui Tan took 3rd place in the New Tang Dynasty Television First Chinese International Violin Competition held July 24-27 2008 in New York City. "It was a great experience to interact with violinists of Chinese descent from around the world. I only heard about the competition two weeks prior, sent in my application (with CD) and received confirmation of acceptance one week prior. It was all very impromptu to have such a short time to practice the competition repertoire (Mozart/ Bach/ Paganini/ Wieniawski) but I wanted to prove to myself that I really could pull it off should the opportunity comes (e.g. to step in as concerto soloist at the last minute when somebody cancels), it's something I have prepared for all my life."  Video with interview on youtube

    "...the first release is auspicious in its quality. The performances are well crafted, clearly the effect of long hours spent in performance and discussion. Tempos and dynamics are appropriately varied, while phrasing remains flexible without ever losing the pulse of the music. ... Above all, I’m impressed by the group’s dark, beautiful tone, which hearkens back to some of the great Soviet quartets of yore." Brenesal
