Nathaniel Bian

Marquette High School

Nathaniel Bian is sophomore at Marquette High School and is excited to be participating in his first season with the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra. He has been playing the violin for the past seven years, and began his musical studies with Mikhail Lobko. Since then, he has continued to grow and is currently studying with Pavel Ilyashov. 

Bian has had the opportunity to perform with ensembles such as the All-Suburban Orchestra and his school’s own Symphonic Orchestra.  

Besides playing the violin, Bian enjoys spending time studying and weightlifting. He is deeply grateful for his teachers and parents for their help and guidance throughout his musical journey
