SEOUL, Oct. 27 (Yonhap) -- Star violinist Sarah Chang will meet Korean fans after three years through an year-end concert in Korea.

Violinist will be on stage with junior players for this concert, which is the first concert in Korea in three years since the 2019 recital tour.
Chang and violinist Jang Yu-jin will play Bach's Concerto for Two Violins, which Chang performed with Isaac Stern in 1997, which will be performed in Korea in a long time.
The chamber ensemble, comprised of violist Lee Hanna, cellist Shim Junho, and double bassist Seong Minje, will also be on stage with Sarah Jang.
Chang will also perform in Gwangju, Busan, Gumi, Jeonju, and Sejong.

Violinist, who debuted in 1990 at the age of 8 with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by master Zubin Mehta, signed a contract with EMI label the following year, setting the record as the youngest to record. In 1995, she became the youngest to win Avery Fisher Career Grant award, making herself known once again.
The violinist, who studied under Dorothy Delay, the teacher of Yitzhak Perlman and Gil Shaham and Midori, inherited the violin from the legendary virtuoso Isaac Stern and has been using it since then.
