Violinist Kyung Wha Chung is recognized throughout the world as one of the finest violinists of her generation. Her dazzling and probing artistry has made the South Korea native a much-acclaimed performer throughout her 40-year career. Chung first heard the violin at the age of six. Instantly mesmerized by its tone, she was recognized as a child prodigy, making her concert debut at age 9 with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, performing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. At 13, Chung enrolled at The Juilliard School, New York. Upon winning the prestigious Edgar Leventritt Competition in 1967, Chung was immediately engaged by major American orchestras – including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic.
This performance will feature Mozart’s “Sonata No. 21 in E minor, K.304,” Beethoven’s “Sonata No. 7 in C minor, Op. 30 No. 2” and Frank’s “Sonata in A major.”
