Praised
as "eloquent" by The New York Times and "warmly rhapsodic" by The
Boston Globe, Taiwanese American violinist Max Tan has appeared on
stages across the United States, Europe, and Asia, forging a varied
career as performer and educator. A founding member of the
diplomacy-centered Versoi Ensemble and a tenured member of the
Sarasota Orchestra, Mr. Tan is committed to community-building
through the arts. Past projects involve connecting musicians to
isolated audiences and recovering Covid-19 patients during the
pandemic, producing a monthly livestream concert series, and
organizing chamber music residencies. Mr. Tan will also launch a new
salon concert series at the Sarasota Art Museum in the coming
months.
Mr. Tan is the recipient of the Richard F. French Award, the Sylff
Fellowship, the Kovner Fellowship from The Juilliard School, and the
Arthur Foote Prize from the Harvard Musical Association. Radio
broadcasts include WNYC/WQXR and Belgian radio Musiq3 and Canvas as
a semifinalist at the 2019 Queen Elisabeth International Violin
Competition. Past festival appearances include the Ravinia Steans
Music Institute, Music@Menlo, Yellow Barn, Four Seasons Winter
Workshop, Pacific Music Festival, and the Perlman Music Program. Mr.
Tan is on the roster of the Si-Yo Foundation.
Recent performances include recitals and chamber music in Taipei,
Toronto, Los Angeles, and New York at the Chelsea Music Festival
where he gave the North American premiere of Phylogenie by Japanese
composer Misato Mochizuki. Committed to the music of our time, Mr.
Tan works with young composers at Juilliard and Sunset Chamberfest
(Los Angeles) in performance, writing, and public speaking. He has
performed works by notable composers including Sarah Gibson, Sang
Tong, Virgil Thomson, Stefano Gervasoni, and Jean-Frédéric
Neuberger.
A Harvard graduate with a major in Human Developmental and
Regenerative Biology and a minor in Music, Mr. Tan is pursuing his
doctorate at Juilliard, where he also received his Master's and
Artist Diploma degrees. His dissertation research centers on the
provenance of unpublished arrangements of Chausson’s Poème and other
notable works by Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, the first
recordings of which will be released in the coming months. Mr. Tan
begins an assistant faculty position at The Juilliard School
Pre-College this fall.
