Biography
From Singapore, Chloe Chua was originally introduced to the violin at age four and to the piano at two and a half years by her mother, who is a music educator. Her teacher is Yin Ke, who started teaching her at age four at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts[5] and School of Young Talents String Section.[4] She has performed across the world in countries such as the United States of America, Italy, China, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and in festivals such as the New Virtuosi Queenswood Masterclass and the Singapore Violin Festival, and Chingay Festival.[6] Chua has also performed with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra,[7] Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra,[8] Salzburg Chamber Soloists, Russian National Youth Orchestra, Kammerorchester Basel[9] and the China Philharmonic Orchestra.[10] In 2018, Chua and Christian Li were both awarded first prize in the Junior division of the Menuhin Competition.[3]
After her Menuhin Competition performance was featured in the 2018 video "Is Ling Ling a GIRL?" by music YouTubers Brett Yang and Eddy Chen of TwoSet Violin, the two visited Chua in September 2020 and held a master class session on the piece Paganiniana composed by violinist Nathan Milstein from The Caprice No.24 of Paganini.[11][12][13] She also took part in a "Ling Ling Workout" with Chen and Yang, released in March 2021,[14] and a later video: “Our Secret Plan to Get Back into the Menuhin Competition (Ft. Chloe Chua)” released in May 2021.[15]
Chua has played on violins such as an 1884 Vincenzo Postiglioni loaned from Dr. Peter Chew and a one-year loan on a 1625 Amati violin from Florian Leonhard Fine Violins.[2] She currently performs on a Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, Milan 1753, on generous loan from the Rin Collection.[16]
