Post Subject: Han-Na ChangPosted by Amphissa on: 3/8/2009

Han-Na Chang won the Rostropovich Cello Competition at age 11 in 1997. Her debut CD was Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saens in 1995 under the baton of Rostropovich. She lived near me, north of NY City. She earned the post of Associate Principal of New York Philharmonic when I lived there. (She gave up her dream to become a basketball player when she hurt a finger a few days before a concert. Haha!) After 9/11, she decided to leave NY and began study of philosophy at Harvard. This is when I decided to leave NY as well. I was very priviledged to hear her play often in NY. She is a very smart and talented young woman, with many diverse interests and knowledge. She has made 8 CDs. Hear her play any opportunity you have in Boston. She is very good.
