Beiliang has earned degrees including a Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance and a Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology, but what that really means is that “Dr. Zhu” is quite interested in learning, hardly ever the most diligent student but always curious. She has won competitions and awards such as the First Prize and the Audience Award at the XVIII International Bach Competition in Leipzig, but what that really means is that Beiliang is quite in love with Bach’s music and baroque music in general. While technical perfection is always an intention, nothing is as important to her as letting the spirit of the music flow through her and reach the listeners.
