A graduate of Harvard University, she is the winner of the Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition, as well as the first-ever Harbin International Music Competition, both in 2018.
After having debuted as a soloist in her hometown symphony — Texas’ San Antonio Symphony — at the age of 13, Zhou has gone on to perform with many notable orchestras, both in the US and abroad.
