Violist
Jennifer Chang began studying violin with Aideen Zeitlin, continued with
James Buswell and Marylou Speaker Churchill, and, after a transformative
summer playing viola in chamber ensembles, began studying viola in
earnest with Roger Tapping. She recently completed her Master’s degree
at Juilliard, studying with Misha Amory and Heidi Castleman. Spending
her high school summers at Greenwood Music Camp, Jenn established a
passion for chamber music that she continued to develop at the Musicorda,
Kneisel Hall, and Moritzburg summer festivals and the Saint Lawrence and
Juilliard quartet seminars.
Jenn graduated from Harvard College with a degree in social studies. As
a member of the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, she served as principal
second violin for several years, then as principal viola. She also
directed the instrumental program of the community service organization
MIHNUET, which plays biweekly concerts at various hospitals and nursing
homes in the greater Boston area.
Throughout college, Jenn combined musical and academic pursuits,
culminating in her senior thesis about the Venezuelan social program El
Sistema. Jenn was invited to present her thesis at symposiums organized
by the New England Conservatory and Community MusicWorks, and her work
was featured in the League of American Orchestras publication.
Hailed as “expert” by the New York Times for her 2011 performance at the
Museum of Modern Art Summergarden series, Jenn is a strong proponent of
new music. She currently performs in chamber ensembles in New York,
Boston, and San Francisco, but spends the majority of her time working
for Google in New York.
