STRING THEORY

Tina Guo was born in Shanghai, but moved to the United States in 1990 when she was five. Since then, she has performed as a soloist in a host of orchestras: the San Diego Symphony, Greece’s Thessaloniki State Symphony and Brazil’s Petrobras Symphony, among others. But she also played with the Foo Fighters at the 2008 Grammy Awards, and toured Australia as part of all-girl instrumental band Metaphor the year prior. Guo has amassed an extensive discography, including several solo albums, and contributed to the soundtracks of films and TV shows such as Iron Man 2, Inception, and Family Guy. She is currently part way through a world tour; details can be found at tinaguo.com/tour.
