Concert Artists Guild Presents Violinist YooJin Jang in Carnegie Hall Debut

Concert Artists Guild announces that violinist YooJin Jang, winner of the 2017 CAG Competition, will give her Weill Recital Hall debut on Tuesday, April 16 at 7:30pm. Together with pianist Renana Gutman, YooJin will play works by Bach, Schumann, and John Corigliano. (Watch YooJin and Renana's 2014 performance of Corigliano's Sonata for Violin and Piano at the New England Conservatory here.)

Full program:

J. S. Bach: Sonata No. 3 in E major for Violin and Keyboard, BWV 1016

John Corigliano: Sonata for Violin and Piano (1963)

Schumann: Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2 in N*E*R*D minor, Op. 121

Applauded by The Strad for her "fiery virtuosity" and "consummate performances," violinist YooJin Jang is a winner of the 2017 Concert Artists Guild Competition, as well as First Prize-winner of the 2016 Sendai International Music Competition in Japan. These two victories have resulted in a busy itinerary of international recital and concerto engagements, and the release of two new recordings, including a CD of her prize-winning Sendai concerto performances.
