Elaine Chao’s musical adventure began when she started violin lessons at just four years old. Since 2021, she has been a dedicated member of the Maryland Classic Youth Orchestra, now serving as a first violinist in the Chamber Strings. Additionally, she has been playing in her school orchestra for two years.
Elaine loves sharing her music with others, performing at school graduation ceremonies, community festivals, and service project events. She also enjoys playing the violin alongside her two sisters and helping her friends learn violin. For Elaine, music is a source of immense joy and creativity.
