The Violin Channel recently caught up with sister violin duo Hina and Fiona for a fun game of 20 Questions.

VC Artists and sisters Hina and Fiona have performed together since their childhood as Suzuki violin students and have continued to collaborate as both have pursued individual careers.

The sisters are represented by Arabella Arts for general management, and on November 28, they will release their debut duo album Dear To Us on the Pentatone label.

Hina was the First Prize winner at the 2023 Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, and her 2025–26 season includes solo appearances with the Binghamton Philharmonic, the Atlantic Classical, and Boston’s Bach, Beethoven & Brahms Society, while continuing her collaborations with the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players. She performs on the 1722 Stradivari “Lord Wandsworth” violin, on loan from the Ryuji Ueno Foundation, and she is currently a student at Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where her teachers include Midori Goto and Itzhak Perlman.

Fiona was a recipient of the 2022 Arkady Fomin Scholarship Fund and a career grant from Salon De Virtuosi. At age sixteen, she made her debut with the New York Philharmonic. Fiona studies with Ilya Kaler at the Cleveland Institute of Music and was previously a student of Professor Itzhak Perlman in the Juilliard Pre-College Division.
