At age 23, violinist Jessica Hung has already established herself as a rising young artist in the orchestral world. Her recent appointment as Concertmaster of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra is a first career milestone for the Cleveland Institute of Music graduate. However, Jessica is no stranger to the leadership duties of first-chair fiddle: she previously held the same position with the Annapolis, Chicago Civic, Cleveland Institute of Music, and Northwestern University Symphony Orchestras, as well as the post of Assistant Concertmaster with the Akron Symphony Orchestra.

With her new position, Jessica takes on a host of engagements beyond the purely orchestral. As a chamber musician, she serves as first violinist of the DPO Principals Quartet. As a soloist, she made her DPO debut under Music Director Neal Gittleman on New Year’s Eve, performing Saint-Saëns’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. Highlights of the 2009-2010 season include performances of Bruch’s Concerto No. 1 on the DPO Classical series, Saint-Saëns’ Concerto No. 3 with the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, and solo and chamber recitals on the DPO Chamber series.

Jessica’s appointment in Dayton comes on the heels of intensive training with William Preucil, Concertmaster of The Cleveland Orchestra, and Stephen Rose, Principal Second Violin. In 2007, she received a Bachelor of Music with Academic Honors from the Cleveland Institute of Music. She began her undergraduate education at Northwestern University, where she studied with Gerardo Ribeiro.
