Achievers

Patrons of the arts attended a Celebration Concert at The Brook Hill School last week which featured The Chang Family Trio from South Korea.

The evening opened with award-winning performances by members of the Brook Hill orchestra who had received recognition on the regional and state level of TAPPS competition. This portion of the concert concluded with Concert Master Hee Chan Chang spotlighted during a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade.”

Hee Chan Chang, a senior at Brook Hill and an award-winning violinist, then performed for the audience solos of “Sonata No. 3 “Ballade” by Ysaye and “Sonata No 1” by Bach.

Attendees heard the music provided by Hee Chan and his brother, Sung Chan, a graduate of the Julliard Preparatory program. Sung Chan is a multiple international music contest winner and currently a “Young Genius Artist” at the Korean National University of Arts and will return to Julliard this fall to begin his graduate studies in cello.

Mrs. Sam Sook Joung, the young men’s mother, also accompanied her sons on several hymn arrangements for violin, cello and piano.
