Available to hire
Hi, I’m Hsiang-Hsin Ching, a violist and recording engineer based in Philadelphia. I blend performance with technical expertise in live sound, studio recording, and music production, with experience at the Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, and Peabody Institute. I love capturing the nuance of a performance and turning it into clear, expressive sound for audiences near and far.
Beyond performing, I enjoy mentoring students, working in fast-paced live environments, and exploring new audio tools and workflows. When I’m not on stage or in the booth, I enjoy collaborating with ensembles and exploring innovative ways to bring music to life.
