  Sarah Chang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarah Chang (born December 10, 1982 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American violinist of Korean heritage.
She asked her parents for a violin at the age of 3 and auditioned for the Juilliard School at 7 playing the Bruch Violin Concerto.
Chang was recognized as a child prodigy early on and when she was 8, was given the opportunity to audition with such names as Zubin Mehta and Riccardo Muti, who were working, respectively, with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Brilliant, Aggressive Chang Performance Hindered by Uniform Approach
Chang was one of the wunderkinds, of course--she made her New York debut with the New York Philharmonic at age 8 and is the youngest performer ever to receive the Avery Fisher Career Grant--but she grew out of her child prodigy title long before she stood on stage at Symphony Hall last Friday night.
Chang is no longer miraculous for her age for the same reason she's allowed to drive a car: simply, she's old enough to do it.
Chang did not play as if she loved the music: her movements, even her facial expressions, seemed too programmed and felt too forced--probably not because Chang is a universally negative performer, but because her style is not suited to Mozart.

American violinist Sarah Chang is blessed with a musical gift so complete that she needed a mere two auditions to launch a celebrated international career.
And although her listeners on these occasions--maestros Zubin Mehta and Riccardo Muti--were among the world's most discriminating, her nerves were spared by an unusual mixture of youth and experience: Chang was all of eight years old at the time, with four years of orchestral performance already behind her.
The deep gloom of this opening movement, which Chang compares to "drinking bitter tea without honey", is later dispelled by the bustling, diabolic scherzo of the second and, most famously, by the melodic heroism of the third.
