Kam Seng Aung, a native of Bhamaw, Kachin State, found himself deeply passionate in violin playing since childhood. He subsequently studied with Hkawng Hkawng, who helped him discover a lifelong love for classical music. After he graduated from Lisu Theological Seminary in 2013, he was fortunate to meet the family of Donata Elschenbroich and Hubert Scharding, who brought him to Germany to further his violin studies. He enrolled in the pre-college program at Dr. Hoch's Konservatorium and studied under Heidrun Becker and Yvonne Smeulers. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree at Kassel "Louis Spohr" Music Academy with Anette Watlther. He is also studying composition with Frank Gerhardt. Under his tutelage, two of his compositions were premiered. His studies in Germany have been made possible by a generous scholarship from ‘Brot für die Welt’.
