BIOGRAPHY
Xin Wang was born in Yunnan, a South western province of China. She arrived alone in Canada at the age of 18 to study singing. Her path took her from Winnipeg to Toronto where she settled and build her vibrant life as a mother, teacher and performer. Xin is most interested in the mechanism of the singing body and is most stimulated by the learning of intricate music. This has led her to the world of contemporary repertoire. These musical puzzles push her towards her threshold while build her up from within, leaving her never in the same place for long.
