  LYNN CHANG, violin


  A native of Newton and a top prizewinner of the International Paganini Competition in Genoa Italy, violinist Lynn Chang has enjoyed an active and versatile international career as soloist, chamber musician, and educator for over twenty years. He began his violin study at the age of seven with Sarah Scriven and Boston Symphony Orchestra violinist Alfred Krips. Mr Chang remembers with fondness his years at Newton North High School, especially his music classes with Henry Lasker. Mr Lasker served as role model for Mr Chang as well as many others in the responsibilities of being a professional musician, for which he is eternally grateful. While attending Newton North High School, Mr Chang also continued his violin studies weekends at the Juilliard School precollege division under the tutelage of Ivan Galamian. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Music from Harvard University and currently teaches at The Boston Conservatory, Boston University, and MIT.

Lynn Chang is a member of the Boston Chamber Music Society. He has also appeared at the Wolf Trap, Great Woods, Marlboro, and Tanglewood music festivals, and as soloist with orchestras in Miami, Salt Lake City, Oakland, Seattle, Honolulu, Beijing, Taipei, and Hong Kong. In addition to his performances this season with the Boston Chamber Music Society, Mr Chang has appeared at Davis Hall in San Francisco, Weill Recital Hall in New York, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Last year he served as visiting professor of violin at the National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei.

In 1995 the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra commissioned the late Ivan Tcherepnin to compose a concerto for Lynn Chang and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The work received the distinguished Grawmeyer Award, and Mr. Chang traveled to Moscow to record it with cellist Alexander Rudin in 1997.

In 1999, Mr. Chang was honored with the first Distinguished Leadership Award from the Institute for Asian American Studies of the University of Massachusetts Boston for his achievements as educator and musician.

Mr. Chang is married to Lisa Wong, a pediatrician. They live in Newton, with their children, Jennifer and Christopher.
