Wen Yang (Double-bass, Violone, Viola da gamba)

Born: USA

The American double-bass, violone and viola da gamba player, Wen Yang, obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in double-bass from the Juilliard School of Music in New York City (2007); her Master of Music degree in double-bass from Yale School of Music (2007-2009); and her Graduate Diploma in Historical Performance from the Juilliard School of Music (2011-2013). She studied viola da gamba with Sarah Cunningham, and double-bass with Don Palma, Timothy Cobb and Robert Nairn.

Wen Yang plays double bass and viola da gamba, and has earned praise both for her “angelically played” solos (Charleston Today) and for “knocking people off their seats” (Sarasota Herald-Tribune). She enjoys being a freelance musician, and has performed with musicians including William Christie, Jordi Savall, Masaaki Suzuki, Monica Huggett, Ton Koopman, and Richard Egarr. She is the founder (August 2012) and Artistic/Executive Director of New York Baroque Incorporated, a period-instrument ensemble has quickly gained its reputation as one of the most dynamic, virtuosic and entrepreneurial Baroque orchestras in the USA, and was awarded the “Bootstraps Trophy” by The New York Times in 2012.

Wen Yang can also be found cooking, and living in New York City with her husband, cellist Ezra Seltzer.
