anne hsiaviolistAnne started out as a pianist and violinist, but converted to the viola due to a shortage and a pair of big hands; her high school ensemble needed more violists, and apparently her hands are big enough to play them. As soon as she upgraded, chamber music opportunities hit like a whirlwind, and she is blessed to be part of a quartet like Four Strings. Anne is currently studying Electrical Engineering and Music (emphasis on piano performance) at Santa Clara University, and enjoys baking, playing Ultimate (Frisbee), and making music with others.
