Lost and Found

“Chang's new piece, a five-movement suite titled Lost and Found, was the most creative and colourful in integrating East and West into a complelling new musical narrative.  The first movement, "Folk Song", was a hard-driving exciting introduction into a sound world that balanced not only Chinese and Western instruments and playing styles, but also ingeniously combined, paired and contrasted the timbres and textures of all the instruments on stage. The final section "In Silent Rain," was a gorgeous study in , among other things, how much a pipa (Chinese lute), zheng (zither) and piano could have in common.  Chang's 15-minute cross-cultural aural kaleidoscope was a treat from beginning to end...Let's hope many more people have a chance to hear it and appreciate it in the months and years to come."

Strange Air

“Take note of her name:  this 38-year-old composer is a master orchestrator  with a keen sense of form...Chang has the aesthetic sense of an impressionist composer, but married to a distinct palate exhibiting clarity, balance and variety.”

Short Stories

“Chang writes with intelligence, a shimmering palette of colors and inventive development techniques. Her string writing has lushness and her choices of instruments as moments of color were often inspired.”
