"Yiming Zhou plays beautifully with a strong artistic presence and a gorgeous sound...Yiming also demonstrated his ability to play with a strong, soloistic sound yet blend well with other musicians. He possesses the rare skill of knowing when to lead and when to take a less assertive role in chamber music."
