Instagram

A musician unconfined by genre and tradition, Placida Ho performs professionally on both the violin and viola. She has performed a repertoire ranging from historically informed performances of orchestral and chamber music with the Red Dot Baroque, Orchestra of the 18th Century and fusion baroque with Holland Baroque to Stockhausen’s Licht with the Dutch National Opera. Inspired by her teacher Ryo Terakado, she plays the violin (her first love), the viola, the violone, and most recently, the viola da gamba. She enjoys teaching and learning from her violin and viola students, both young and old.
