Paris-born Ngoc graduated in violin and chamber music at the National Superior Conservatory of Music and Dance, Paris, when he was 15 years old. He later received a master’s degree at Brooklyn College’s Conservatory of Music and a Doctorate of Musical Art from The Juilliard School in the US.

In 2017, Ngoc made the Opera House's auditorium explode with Caprice No. 24 by Niccolo Paganini.
In the upcoming performance, he will show his talent through a solo performance with another work by Paganini - the Violin Concerto No. 1. The concert will be conducted by Meritorious Artist Tran Vuong Thach./.
