David Yang

Recipient of an artist fellowship from the Independence Foundation awarded to a small number of exceptional artists, violist David Yang has been described as "lithe and expressive" in the Strad Magazine and called “a conduit for music.” The renaissance man has forged a career that is a blend of performing, composition, and storytelling, and been heard in collaboration with members of the Borromeo, Brentano, Miro, Pro Arte, Tokyo, and Vermeer String Quartets. He has premiered dozens of works and is Artistic Director of the Newburyport Chamber Music Festival, Ashburton Chamber Music Festival (England), and was founder and Director of Chamber Music at the University of Pennsylvania as well as a member of U.K. - based string trio Ensemble Epomeo. Their recordings have been designated as “critic’s choice” in Gramophone Magazine, and their second CD was described in the Strad with "...remarkable intensity and elegant assurance throughout.”
