Violinists Angela and Jennifer Chun are a trailblazing duo of string musicians, collaborative artists, advocates of new music, and humanitarians. Their recordings have topped music charts around the world, and are one of the most unique and exciting ensembles in classical music.
The award winning duo garnered critical acclaim through performances at the Mostly Mozart Festival and Extremely Hungary Festival at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Bachfest in London, Ravinia Festival in Chicago, the Aspen Music Festival, and the Budapest Music Festival.
They have worked with world-renowned conductors Zubin Mehta, Sir Andre Previn, Thomas Sanderling, Ivan Fischer, Leonard Slatkin, and Peter Oundjian; and have performed with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Bach Orchestra, KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic, Toronto Chamber Orchestra, Aspen Festival Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra at the John F. Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts.
Beyond focusing on classical works, as advocates of new music, Angela & Jennifer often collaborate with contemporary composers, artists, and modern dancers to create multi-genre complete art forms via contemporary platforms for new generations of diverse audiences.
They have performed and premiered works by Gyorgy Kurtag, Gyorgy Ligeti, Sebastian Currier, Kaija Saariaho, Philip Glass, and Isang Yun. The duo's performances of Isang Yun's compositions are widely considered the best renditions of his work. In 2010, composer and Grawemeyer prize winner George Tsontakis wrote a double violin concerto "Unforgettable" for the Chun sisters, which was based on the song written by Irving Gordon and made popular by Nat King Cole. The concerto premiered at the Aspen Music Festival and School's 60th anniversary concert.
