Sarah Chang (born December 10, 1980) is an American violinist.
Chang was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of Korean heritage. She asked her parents for a violin at the age of 3 and auditioned for the Juilliard School at 7 playing the Bruch Violin Concerto. She was admitted into the studio of Dorothy DeLay, violin teacher to some of the world's great violinists including Itzhak Perlman, Midori Goto, Gil Shaham, Shlomo Mintz and many others, including Chang's father. She was also taught by Hyo Kang, a former student and assistant of DeLay.
Chang was recognized as a child prodigy early on and when she was 8, was given the opportunity to audition with such names as Zubin Mehta and Riccardo Muti, who were working, respectively, with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Both gave her immediate engagements. At 9, she was possibly the youngest violinist ever to record. Her teacher in an interview claimed that no one had ever seen "anything like her".
Yehudi Menuhin has called her "the most wonderful, the most perfect, the most ideal violinist I have ever heard".

Midori (미도리)
Early Years Midori was born in Osaka, Japan in 1971. From a very early age, she was attracted to the sound of the violin played by her mother, Setsu Goto. When Midori was four, her grandparents gave her a tiny violin of her own. Three years later, Midori gave her first public performance for an audience in Osaka playing a Paganini Caprice. She loved to practice and perform, and was surrounded by music at home. From an early age, Midori also became aware of her family's example as hardworking, highly motivated individuals with strong social consciences. She studied with her mother for several years, practicing with her every day. A visiting musician friend living in New York City heard Midori play and encouraged her mother to make a tape. As Setsu Goto held a small cassette recorder in her lap and, as the family's two dogs barked, Midori played the Paganini Concerto No. 1 and a Caprice, a Bach solo sonata and the Saint Saëns Third Concerto. The tape ended up coincidentally in the hands of the prominent American violin teacher Dorothy DeLay.
