2:00pmOne of the most remarkable violin prodigies of any generation, Sarah Chang has matured into a young artist of astonishing virtuosity, musical insight, and emotional range. She performs with the world’s top orchestras with such conductors as Kurt Masur, Valery Gergiev, Gustavo Dudamel and Mariss Jansons, and plays chamber music with such artists as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Pinchas Zukerman, Martha Argerich, Lynn Harrell, Isaac Stern and Yo-Yo Ma.
Ms Chang’s special relationship with Walnut Creek began many years ago, when as a jaw-dropping prodigy she was invited by conductor Barry Jekowsky to perform with his orchestra, the California Symphony. These performances kindled a love affair between Ms Chang and Contra Costa County audiences that still burns brightly.
We presented her in recital in 2013 in the Hofmann theatre, and sold every one of its 785 seats. Sarah Chang performed stunningly – it was a truly memorable event – so it is with special pride that we are bringing her back in 2016.
We are also pricing the tickets at affordable levels – the top price is $66, the middle price is $51 and the lowest price is only $36 – because we want to fill the theatre and make it another very special event for as many patrons as possible.
Do not miss Sarah Chang’s triumphant return!
