Chang was recently described as ‘a distinguished artiste’ (Bristol Post). In addition to performing solo and chamber concerts regularly in the UK and other countries, Chang’s talent lays particularly on her creation of Concert Theatre, which is a new style of performance interweaving classical music and drama. It has been awarded various Grants, including from the Arts Council England, Elias Fawcett Foundation and Royal Victoria Hall Foundation and featured by In Tune on BBC Radio 3. Michael While from The Telegraph called it ‘strikingly innovative’; while Martin Cullingford from Gramophone described her work as ‘beautiful and poignant’.
Chang’s debut recording, ‘Water Image’, is available on site. The programme includes Beethoven’s Moonlight sonata, Ravel’s Jeux d’eau, Debussy’s Estampes and Chopin’s Barcarolle.
