Chuanyuan Liu is a Music/Statistics double major, with concentrations in vocal performance and econometrics, respectively. Although he never had the chance to study music formally in his hometown of Changchun, China, music has always been his passion – he was in the student choir in his elementary school, won multiple awards in provincial and national singing competitions, and was the lead singer and co-founder of his band group in high school. After he took his first music class at UVA, he discovered his interest in classical music and became determined to pursue music both as his major and career. He is currently taking voice lessons with Mr. Jordan Davidson and is a member of both the University Singers and Chamber Singers. Chuanyuan is extremely honored to have been selected as a Miller Arts Scholar and is excited to collaborate and connect with other student artists.
