Internationally acclaimed violin virtuoso Sarah Chang will be making her Baton Rouge debut tomorrow, Sept. 22, as part of Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra’s Music in Motion opening night.
Chang will be playing several noteworthy compositions, ranging from Piazzolla’s “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires” to Bennett’s “Suite of Old American Dances.”
The concert, conducted by Timothy Muffitt, is fashioned around several dances, including a modern day foxtrot, Western one-step and waltz—aiming to celebrate the joy of movement.

Chang, the guest performer for the evening, stepped into the music world as a child, making her first New York Philharmonic appearance at the age of 8. Now, more than two decades later, she travels internationally as a world-renowned recital and chamber musician.
