Kyung-Wha Chung East Plays West with Myung-Wha Chung Myung-Whun Chung
The young Korean violinist KYUNG-WHA CHUNG achieved overnight success with her London debut in 1970. But the Chung family can boast six musicians among seven children, and five are seen playing in tonight's film. Three are professionals with independent solo careers - KYUNG the violinist, MYUNG the-cellist, and WHUN, both pianist and conductor. Although they come from the East, the music they play is exclusively Western. This film shows them in rehearsal and performance both in Europe and the USA.
Last summer, Kyung took part in the ' Great Performers ' series in New York, then with her sister played Brahms's Double Concerto With the NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN, and later, with brother Whun, went to Switzerland and Belgium for concerts at the Lucerne and Flanders Festivals.
