About the Performers

Sabrina Meng is a senior at MIT majoring in Course 20 (Biological Engineering) and Course 6-2 (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). She began playing violin at the age of 8 and currently studies with Lynn Chang as an Emerson/Harris Scholar. She has also been an active part of various music groups at MIT, including Chamber Music Society (where she has played repertoire by Brahms, Dvorak, Mendelssohn, Smetana, and others) and the MIT Symphony Orchestra.

On campus, Sabrina also skates and competes in intercollegiate competitions as part of the MIT Figure Skating Club, is a researcher in the Langer/Anderson Labs, and performs music in the Greater Boston community with the MIT Ribotones. In her free time, she enjoys distance running, baking, reading, and hiking with her family.

About the Emerson/Harris Program for Private Study

Funded by the late Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941) in response to an appeal from Associate Provost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music), the Emerson/Harris Program offers merit-based financial awards for private study in music to students of outstanding achievement on their instruments in classical, jazz or world music. Each academic year, the Emerson/Harris Program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly fifty students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the musical life of MIT. Private teacher selections, made in consultation with the music faculty, may include instructors from MIT staff and throughout Greater Boston.
