Chandra Susilo

I'm looking for more musicians to collaborate with in the Valley of the Sun as well as students committed to developing their skills and musical literacy. Born in Hawaii, Chandra started violin at the age of five with Hiroko Primrose, one of the first students of Suzuki, founder of the Suzuki method. At the age of 17, Chandra made her debut as a soloist with the Honolulu Symphony. She has had the privilege of studying in studios and master classes with teachers such as William Preucil, Andrés Cárdenas, Iggy Jang, Pinchas Zukerman, Andrew Dawes, Theodora Geraets, Daniel Guedes and Danwen Jiang. Chandra received her Master’s degree at Arizona State University where she won the annual concerto competition and performed as a member of the scholarship ensemble, the Herberger string quartet. She is a strong advocate of Latin American music and has performed repertoire from Astor Piazzolla at the festival FEMUSC in Brazil as well as showcased new compositions with the Latin American group Amazonas at Carnegie Hall.
