Born in Shanghai, Bowen\u2019s path ran from piano to cello and finally to bass, through Interlochen, the Shanghai Conservatory\u2019s affiliated program, and Juilliard. We dig into the nuts-and-bolts of what changed between Bowen\u2019s early pro auditions and his San Francisco win: obsessing over details and doing daily metronome work. Enjoy, and connect with Bowen on Instagram and YouTube!
