Bio:
A native of Taipei, Taiwan, Xiao-Ling Wang is a University of Southern California graduate.

Music

I specialize in song and operatic recitals with a diverse repertoire that spans across six different languages. Every performance I deliver is deeply rooted in storytelling, and I place a strong emphasis on engaging with the audience. In addition to piano and voice, I offer chamber programs featuring clarinet, oboe, cello, French horn, or a string quartet.

As a sample program, my most recent concert, held in October 2023, showcased a "3 French Songs," set which included enchanting pieces: Kurt Weill's "Youkali," Poulenc's "C," and "Noel Des enfants qui n’ont plus de maison." The program continued with Robert Schumann's "Frauenliebe und Leben" in its entirety, and concluded with a selection of five mesmerizing Chinese melodies.

I believe that music possesses a unique and magical power to touch the heart and transport the listener to another realm. I would be delighted to take this extraordinary journey with you and your guests.
