I am Victoria Frances Young (杨芷嫣) from Las Vegas, NV.  I am a pianist, composer, and performer.  Music is my artistic medium, and the stage with which to share it with people—people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, and origins—is my canvas.  I re-imagine the traditional yet niche classical concert into unique and immersive audiovisual, multi-disciplinary, and audience-interactive experiences.  In doing so, I hope to fulfill my dream of bringing the interest and passion for music to a wider audience.

As a musician, one of the primary ways I interact with sound is from an emotion-based and narrative-driven perspective.  My original compositions are inspired by my favorite works of art and literature and extraordinary personal experiences during my travels.  Aesthetically, my music draws from my Chinese-Malaysian heritage, especially xiqu (Chinese opera) from my ancestral home of Teochew, southern China. 

As an avid reader and a writer of science fiction and fantasy, much of my compositions and performances deal with the same topics, and are a way for me to, through sight, sound, and space, bring audiences through portals to fantastical dimensions and delve into the world of speculation and pure imagination.
