Theresa Wong, our second featured artist, is a Berkeley-based composer, multi-instrumentalist, and intermedia artist whose work moves between composition and improvisation.
As a cellist and vocalist, she’s developed a distinct language through experimental techniques, alternative tunings, and the blending of voice and instrument.
Her performances unfold in real time—textural, intuitive, and deeply immersive.
