Winston Tian
A young violinist at the beginning of a promising musical journey, stepping onto the La Mirada Symphony stage for Echoes of Russia.
Winston Tian’s appearance with the La Mirada Symphony is a milestone moment: a young musician stepping forward, building confidence, and discovering what it means to perform before a live audience.
Winston Tian will perform at the La Mirada Symphony’s May 17 concert, Echoes of Russia. This special performance introduces audiences to a rising young musician and highlights the next generation of classical talent.
Born in April 2015, Winston began playing the violin at four and a half years old. Since then, he has studied under instructor Sarkis Salamanyan, where he continues to build both technique and musical expression.
In addition to music, Winston attends Maple Hill Elementary School. He balances his academic work with daily violin study, developing the focus and discipline that young musicians carry into every rehearsal and performance.

Building technique, expression, and confidence.
Winston’s violin study began early, and his work with Sarkis Salamanyan has helped him develop the foundation every young violinist needs: control, listening, patience, and musical curiosity.
He also enjoys exploring a wide range of repertoire, from classical works to newer compositions. Because of this, he continues to grow as a well-rounded performer with an expanding sense of musical possibility.
For a young musician, the early years are about more than learning notes. They are about forming the habits, discipline, and curiosity that make artistry possible.
Learning how to listen inside the music.
Over time, Winston has performed with the Diamond Strings Orchestra and the Claremont Orchestra. These ensemble experiences help young musicians learn how to listen across a group, respond to other players, and understand their role inside a larger musical texture.
That kind of training is especially important when a young performer steps into a symphonic environment. A full orchestra teaches scale, timing, discipline, and the energy of shared performance.
Ensemble playing teaches young musicians that music is not only individual skill. It is listening, timing, trust, and collaboration.
Why this concert matters.
On May 17, Winston Tian will appear at the La Mirada Symphony’s free concert, Echoes of Russia, held at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts. This performance marks an important milestone in his musical journey.
In addition, this appearance aligns with his first competition experience, making the event even more meaningful. Audiences will have the opportunity to see a young artist at an exciting stage of development.
As Winston continues forward, he brings passion, discipline, and curiosity to every performance. This concert offers a glimpse into a promising musical future.
Young musicians need rooms where music feels real.
Student performance opportunities give young musicians something the practice room cannot fully provide: the experience of sharing music with an audience. The scale of the stage, the presence of the orchestra, and the response of the room all become part of the learning process.
By supporting the La Mirada Symphony, audiences help make these moments possible for students like Winston Tian and for the next generation of young artists discovering their voice.
