Courtesy of Sinfonia Gulf Coast, Concert Accordionist Hanzhi Wang performed for the students in the SWHS auditorium. Praised for her engaging stage presence and performances that are technically and musically brilliant, Hanzhi Wang is quickly gaining recognition as a world class performer. Her concert career has already taken her around the globe with performances in Europe and Asia. Ms. Wang will make her debut in the Young Concert Artists Series in New York, opening the 2018-19 season in The Peter Marino Concert at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall. Her Washington, DC debut in the Young Concert Artists Series at the Kennedy Center will be co-presented with Washington Performing Arts. 
She earned her Bachelor’s degree at the China Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, and her Master’s degree at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen as a student of Geir Draugsvoll.
