About

Bio:
A native of Taipei, Taiwan, Xiao-Ling Wang is a University of Southern California graduate. She was a semi-finalist in the Premier International Opera Competition in New York (2022) and a finalist in the International Opera Singer’s Competition of Chinese Heritage. She was a soloist in the Chinese Rising Stars Concert at Carnegie Hall.

As an operatic soprano, Ms. Wang has performed with Nickel City Opera West, Orlando Opera, Orlando Philharmonic, Central Florida Lyric Opera, First Coast Opera, and USC Opera Studio. Her operatic roles include Cio-Cio San, Aida, the Countess, Fiordiligi, Mrs. Alice Ford, Violetta, Mimi, Tosca, Liu, Nedda, Marguerite, Gretel, and Laetitia.

As a recitalist, Ms. Wang has been heard in California, Washington, Idaho, Boston, Long Island, and Florida. Notably, since 2016, she has created over 30 multi-media story-telling-based concerts in Central Florida and New York City.

She is currently on the roster of George Martynuk

Music

I specialize in song and operatic recitals with a diverse repertoire that spans across six different languages. Every performance I deliver is deeply rooted in storytelling, and I place a strong emphasis on engaging with the audience. In addition to piano and voice, I offer chamber programs featuring clarinet, oboe, cello, French horn, or a string quartet.

As a sample program, my most recent concert, held in October 2023, showcased a "3 French Songs," set which included enchanting pieces: Kurt Weill's "Youkali," Poulenc's "C," and "Noel Des enfants qui n’ont plus de maison." The program continued with Robert Schumann's "Frauenliebe und Leben" in its entirety, and concluded with a selection of five mesmerizing Chinese melodies.

I believe that music possesses a unique and magical power to touch the heart and transport the listener to another realm. I would be delighted to take this extraordinary journey with you and your guests.
