Wen Yang
Double Bassist
born in the United States.
Praised for “knocking people off their seats” (Sarasota Herald-Tribune), double bassist and viola da gamba player Wen Yang makes active appearances from America to Europe, and Asia. She is the founder and executive director of New York Baroque Incorporated, a period-instrument ensemble has quickly gained its reputation as one of the most dynamic, virtuosic and entrepreneurial Baroque orchestras in the United States, and was awarded the “Bootstraps Trophy” by The New York Times in 2012.
An alumnus of The Juilliard School and Yale School of Music, Wen studied viola da gamba with Sarah Cunningham, and double bass with Don Palma, Timothy Cobb and Robert Nairn.
