Violinists and sisters Hina & Fiona share a unique artistic bond that brings together their distinctly individual voices. Shaped by lifelong collaboration, the New York-born duo has been praised by BBC Music Magazine, which notes that “their playing in unison could almost fool you into thinking that you were listening to a single player,” in response to the release of their debut album with Pentatone, Dear to Us. 

In 2026, Hina & Fiona gave the world premiere of John Corigliano’s The Red Violin: Suite for Two Violins and Orchestra with the Pacific Symphony under Alexander Shelley at Festival Napa Valley. Reimagined by Corigliano especially for Hina & Fiona, the work was praised by BroadwayWorld for their “breathtaking technical command and a telepathic musical connection,” adding that “fast, virtuosic passages dazzled with precision while the lyrical moments revealed exceptional maturity and emotional depth.”

Recent and upcoming highlights include performances at Wigmore Hall, Rome Chamber Music Festival, Moritzburg Festival, North Shore Chamber Music Festival with the Avant Symphony Orchestra under Mina Zikri, and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Keitaro Harada.

Endlessly supporting one another through their significant solo milestones and careers, Hina won first prize at the 2023 Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, and Fiona made her New York Philharmonic debut at age 16 with Thomas Wilkins, performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto.

Hina’s most recent orchestral engagements include debuts of a range of repertoire from Beethoven to Korngold concertos with the Binghamton Philharmonic, Atlantic Classical Orchestra, Savannah Philharmonic, Brevard Symphony, and Greensboro Symphony, to name a few. She performs on the 1722 Stradivari “Lord Wandsworth” violin, generously on loan from the Ryuji Ueno Foundation. A recent Economics graduate of Columbia University, she continues her studies at the Juilliard School with Midori Goto and Itzhak Perlman.

Having debuted with the New York Philharmonic in David Geffen Hall at 16, Fiona has also appeared as soloist at the Kulturpalast in Dresden with the Moritzburg Festival Orchestra, in Alice Tully Hall with the Juilliard Orchestra, the ProMusica chamber orchestra, and most recently made her Severance Hall debut in April 2026. She currently studies with Professor Ilya Kaler at the Cleveland Institute of Music and was previously a student of Itzhak Perlman in the Juilliard Pre-College Division.
