Britney Cheung is a violinist from Hong Kong. Having started the instrument at the age of three, music has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. Although she had grown up playing in youth orchestras, she did not truly fall in love with the violin until she entered high school, when she was first introduced to chamber music. Since then, Britney has been determined to spend her summers playing in chamber groups, participating in music festivals such as the Boston University Tanglewood Institute and the Bowdoin International Music Festival. During her senior year in high school, she was accorded the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Chamber Music at Deerfield Academy. Britney currently studies violin at UVA with Daniel Sender, is involved in the Charlottesville Symphony and the First Year Players’ Pit Orchestra, and plays in the chamber music seminar. Outside of the practice room, she enjoys conversations about rom-coms, her year of veganism, and Spotify playlists.  Britney is grateful for all the opportunities that music has afforded her and is very excited to be part the Miller Arts Scholars community.
