Han-Na Chang

"Here was not a run-of-the-mill performance by a journeyman conductor passing through, but a wholly compelling one from a true musician...one was not so much struck by the angst and suffering from this wartime symphony, but by the power and beauty of the music...A welcome return by Chang the conductor, as well as cellist, could not come soon enough" (The Straits Times, September 2012)

“But the already anticipated treat of the concert was also fully up to expectations: that still rare phenomenon, a woman conductor, in the person of South Korea's Han-Na Chang...Rostrum manner does count, and can here be summed up not only as confident and astute, but also as inspired. Ms Chang is the epitome of the incredible lightness of being: agile, nimble and bang on the beat.” (The Liverpool Echo, February 2012)

“A performance oozing soul and individuality.” (BBC Music Magazine)

“She plays with such conviction that you feel she too could have been the inspiration for great composers. Chang combines raw emotion with a structural grip that, in its way, is even more remarkable in one so young.” (Gramophone)

“Chang brings clear-sighted belief to everything she touches. Her range is generous indeed, from barely-audible ghostly voices to high-octane drama…” (BBC Music Magazine, May 2006)

"[Han-Na] has an enviable power to move her audiences…she’s a natural performer whose musicianship is intense, profound and astonishingly mature." (The Strad)

"[She] plays with great technical assurance and produces a beautiful tone" (The New York Times)

"An extraordinary sense of fearless adventure" (The Times)

"Truly stunning performances of passion and urgency"(Classics Today)
