Featured as this

Ngwenyama’s performances as orchestral soloist, recitalist, and
chamber musician continue to garner great attention. Gramophone
proclaimed Ms. Ngwenyama’s playing as providing “solidly shaped
music of bold, mesmerising character,” and the Washington Post
described her as playing "with dazzling technique in the
virtuoso fast movements and deep expressiveness in the slow
movements.”
Ms. Ngwenyama came to international attention
when she won the Primrose International Viola Competition and the
Young Concert Artists International Auditions at age 17. Plaudits
followed her debut recitals in Washington, D.C. at the Kennedy Center
and in New York at the 92nd Street ‘Y’, and in 1998 she received
the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Ms. Ngwenyama has
performed throughout the United States and abroad. Domestic
appearances include performances with the Atlanta, Baltimore, and
Indianapolis Symphonies, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the
National Symphony Orchestra. She has been heard in recital at Tokyo’s
Suntory Hall, the Louvre, the Ford Center in Toronto, and the Maison
