Cliburn International Piano Competition March 5, 2006 |

| She received her first piano as a birthday present
from her aunt when she was four and immediately took to the instrument. After winning
several national competitions in Korea, she moved to the United States to begin studies at
Juilliard's pre-college division. Her victory at the Philadelphia Orchestra's Greenfield
Competition for students led to her debut with that orchestra at the Academy of Music when
she was thirteen. She has since performed with the Baltimore, Corpus Christi, Knoxville,
and National Symphony Orchestras, as well as the Long Island and Reno Philharmonic
Orchestras and the Ravinia Festival Orchestra. In recital, Ms. Yang has been presented by
the La Jolla Music Society, the Gilmore Keyboard Festival, and Ravinia's Rising Stars
series, among others. "…Yang took the cake with her left-hand pyrotechnics in John Corigliano's Etude Fantasy. She was a worthy silver medallist." - - Geoff Brown, The Times (London) |
