She is a graduate of Oberlin College and received her Master’s degree from the New England Conservatory. On the baroque violin, Ms Yang has studied with Marilyn McDonald, Stanley Ritchie, and Sigiswald Kuijken. She enjoys performing chamber music with her husband, San Francisco Symphony Assistant Principal Cellist Amos Yang, and is mother to two young children, Isabel and Noah.
