Sun Chang, 21, is a student of Alan Chow at Northwestern University. She is now in Chicago finishing her degree in piano performance after a year abroad at the Royal Academy of Music in London studying piano with Rustem Hayroudinoff and harpsichord with Carole Cerasi. She recently was featured on “Live from WFMT,” hosted by Kerry Frumkin, and gave a solo recital at Preston Bradley Hall at the Chicago Cultural Center.
This collaboration with Camerata Chicago is not the first- in September 2015, Sun was a soloist in the all-Gershwin concert featuring Sylvia Mcnair. She has also soloed with University of Puget Sound Orchestra, Philharmonia Northwest, Utah Symphony and Northwestern’s Baroque Music Ensemble.
Her primary training is from Dr. Peter Mack with whom she 
studied since her move from South Korea to the States in 2003. While in Seattle, she was chosen as one of Seattle Chamber Music Society’s “Emerging Artists,” and won most of prominent competitions in the area, including the Simon Fiset, Northwest Chopin, Russian Chamber Music, Seattle International Piano Festival and Outstanding Young Artists competitions. In 2011, with her brother, she won the first prize at the MTNA National Senior Duet Competition.
Sun has a prolific collaborative career. In addition to playing harpsichord in the Baroque Music Ensemble, she frequently performs sonata repertoire, plays in chamber settings and premiers new music.
Sun is a Luminarts Fellow at the Union League Club of Chicago, and a recipient of the Jerome and Elaine Nerenberg Foundation Scholarship from the Musician’s Club of Women.
