Jennifer Koh, who made her debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11, was a top prize winner at Moscow’s International Tchaikovsky Competition, winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition, and a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant. Koh will perform a special program of her popular “Bach and Beyond” series, which traces the history of the solo violin repertoire from Bach’s Six Sonatas and Partitas to works of contemporary composers, including commissions by leading Asian American composers Vijay Iyer, Nina Shekhar, Anjna Swaminathan, and Ken Ueno.
