Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Violinist Sarah Chang in concert with pianist Sonya Ovrutsky Fensome on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.

One of the most sought-after violinists playing today, Sarah Chang made her debut with the New York Philharmonic at age eight and has impressed audiences with her technical virtuosity and refined emotional depth for more than two decades, performing with the world’s most esteemed orchestras and musicians. Joined by pianist Sonya Ovrutsky Fensome for her Moss debut, she will perform magnificent violin sonatas by Brahms and Franck, as well as Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances.

As an accomplished recital and chamber musician, Sarah Chang regularly performs with artists such as Pinchas Zukerman, Yefim Bronfman, Leif Ove Andsnes, Yo-Yo Ma, Isaac Stern, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Her most recent recording for EMI Classics—her 20th for the label—featured the Brahms and Bruch violin concertos with Kurt Masur and the Dresdner Philharmonie and received excellent critical and popular acclaim.

She has also recorded Prokofiev Violin Concerto, no. 1, and Shostakovich Violin Concerto, no. 1, live with the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle; Fire and Ice, an album of popular shorter works for violin and orchestra with Placido Domingo conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker; and the Dvo?ák Violin Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Colin Davis; as well as several chamber music and sonata discs with artists including pianists Leif Ove Andsnes and Lars Vogt.

In 2012 she received the Harvard University Leadership Award, and in 2005 Yale University dedicated a chair in Sprague Hall in her name. For the June 2004 Olympic games she was given the honor of running with the Olympic Torch in New York, and that same month became the youngest person ever to receive the Hollywood Bowl's Hall of Fame award. Other previous distinctions include the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Gramophone’s “Young Artist of the Year” award, Germany’s “Echo” Schallplattenpreis, “Newcomer of the Year” honors at the International Classical Music Awards in London, and Korea’s “Nan Pa” award. In 2011 Chang was named an official artistic ambassador by the United States Department of State.
