Sarah Chang violin
Andrew von Oeyen piano
Sunday, October 16, 3pm, Symphony Hall

Known worldwide as one of the most remarkable prodigies of any generation, violinist Sarah Chang has grown from a promising Gramophone “Young Artist of the Year” into a mature artist of the highest order, whose fresh musical insights, technical virtuosity, and intensity of emotion are mesmerizing. If you have not heard Sarah Chang in recent years, prepare to be amazed.

“... Chang is a mature artist in the fullest sense of the term. Her Heifetzian pitch, her sound, her sense, her trills, her dynamic range, her passion, her assurance, her deep penetration of the substance and nature of the music all combine to make her the best violinist I have heard in years, surely one of the foremost virtuosi of her time.”
—Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"Her gifts are at a level so removed from the rest of us that all we can do is feel appropriate awe and then wonder on the mysteries of nature.” —The New York Times
