Nancy Zhou started to learn the violin at the age of 4.

She was taught by her father, Zhou Long, and by Miriam Fried at the New England Conservatory (Boston). Since 2008 she has had a scholarship from the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation, which has made it possible for her to give numerous recitals in Europe.
