The long-running Ojai Art Center hosts four classic chamber music concerts
each year on selected Sunday afternoons.
Ojai Sessions
Sunday, December 4, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Chamber Music Concert
Yue Deng, Violinist
Sunday, January 15, 3:00 p.m.
Once a resident of Ojai, violinist and former child prodigy, Yue Deng, returns to the Ojai Art Center gallery this January 15th at 3pm to treat our audience to her artistry and skill in a solo violin performance of repertoire expanding from Baroque to living composers.
Independent and passionate describe Yue Deng, whose career as a concert violinist began when she was awarded First Prize in the National Violin Competition in China at the age of eight. She studied and received degrees at the Oberlin Conservatory and Julliard. She has been a participant at the Music Academy of the West and the Henry Mancini Institute.
As a recording artist, Yue has recorded with Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, Diana Krall, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, among others. Yue has performed in the Carnegie, Avery Fisher, Alice Tully, and Disney Concert Halls, and at Birdland. She has mentored individual students at many prestigious institutions and coached underprivileged young violinists in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. From 2013-2019 she served as a Strings Instructor and Artist in Residence at University of Alberta while continuing to perform and record.
Jazz great Roger Kellaway arranged and wrote an album for her titled Both Sides Now. He comments: “Her musicianship is superb. Because of Yue’s talent, I fell in love with the violin.” Yue Deng joined the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in November of 2019. She continues to enjoy a second home in Ventura.
