The concert, attended by about 2,000 enraptured audience members, culminated in a thunderous standing ovation for the young soloist.

Her extraordinary trajectory includes attaining the ABRSM Grade 8 violin certification with Distinction at seven, earning a scholarship to the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, and acceptance at age ten into the prestigious High-Level Master Classes at Switzerland’s Tiziano Rossetti International Music Academy. Currently pursuing her College Artistic Diploma, Sherry has already completed the Artistic Junior Diploma.

Sherry made her orchestral debut performing Mozart at age eight. Since then, she has graced stages including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Musikverein Golden Hall, Budapest’s Liszt Academy, Madrid National Auditorium, Salzburg’s Mozarteum, Saigon Opera House, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, … etc. She has collaborated with eminent ensembles such as the Sofia Philharmonic, Savaria Symphony Orchestra, North Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Madrid Atlantida Chamber Orchestra, Saigon Philharmonic, Hong Kong Philharmonic, and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, working with conductors including Ernest Hoetzl, Nayden Todorov, Manuel Tevar, Daniel Geiss, Massimo Belli, Lio Kuokman, Fan Ting.

Reflecting on her Madrid debut, conductor Manuel Tevar remarked: “Sherry possesses a rare blend of technical mastery and emotional intelligence. Her interpretation of ‘Havanaise’ was not just flawless – it was storytelling through the violin.” As the youngest soloist to headline at the National Auditorium this season, Sherry Tse has cemented her status as a rising global star in classical music.
