Jean started violin at the age of five and came to the United States when she was fifteen. Dr. Huang holds Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral of Musical Arts degrees (BM 12', MM 14', DMA 19') in Violin Performance with honors from the New England Conservatory. In 2016, she excelled and passed all her doctoral qualifying exams to become the youngest doctoral candidate in her class and completed her Doctoral studies with the thesis topic "Performative Analysis and the Critical Edition of Francis Poulenc's violin sonata" in 2019, under the guidance of Sean Gallagher and Pascal Rogé. Praised for her poised and expressive playing, Jean enjoys playing both standard repertoire and new music. Believing music can provoke the wildest imagination, she often looks for a connection between the composer, the performer, and the audience: Jean is recognized for her performances in which she combines virtuosic violin playing and commentary that audience members of all experience levels can understand. By offering informative discussion in simpler terms, Jean has been able to reach a wider array of concertgoers. Wishing to become a musician rather than merely a violinist, Huang delves into all aspects of the field. In the summer of 2013, she took violin-making lessons and created her first violin, based on a Guarnerius model. She enjoys everyday coffee and often wanders around the Greater Boston area for new inspirations from nature in her sound.
