Violinist Hoi Ting Davidson to perform

Violinist Hoi Ting Davidson will perform “The Hymn Project” during a concert at 7 p.m. Oct. 14 at Celebration Hall on the campus of Hillcrest Academy in rural Kalona.

Davidson is an active performer and educator in the greater Houston region. With a background in classical performance, Davidson holds a BM from the Eastman School of Music and a MM from the University of Texas at Austin where she was concertmaster and concertino soloist with the UT Symphony Orchestra.

She currently works as a member of the River Oaks Quartet which performs regularly as part of the international Candlelight Concert series and at other events. She also plays with Quartetrachord, which performs their own compositions and arrangements in addition to works of the classical genre.

Her freelance career has led her to perform across Austria, China, and throughout the US including concerts as lead violinist on Two Cellos’ tour and for the SXSW Amazon Prime promotion of the popular TV series “Good Omens.” In addition to performing, she teaches violin on the faculty of the Paganini School of Music and at the Small Victories Foundation, a nonprofit helping people with traumatic brain injuries. In her spare time, Davidson enjoys working on her passion projects including the study of Argentine tango music and composing.

Davidson's The Hymn Project is centered around bringing the beauty and depth of hymns to string ensemble and exploring how these old traditions pass down and invite us to experience something greater than ourselves. They will perform original arrangements inspired by the hymns and music of other artists who brought the spirit of their hymn and folk traditions to string ensemble.

Works include Appalachian Waltz by Edgar Meyer and arrangements from the Danish String Quartet.
