Pianist, violinist to perform at SVSU concert Friday

Two world-renowned artists will bring the classical sounds of Beethoven, Ravel, Sheng, and Saint-Saens to the ears of an audience at Saginaw Valley State University this week.

Pianist Wendy Chu will be accompanied by violinist Fangye Sun during a performance Friday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in SVSU’s Rhea Miller Recital Hall.

Chu has performed in Taiwan, Austria, and Canada, and has been featured on PBS. The recording artist has worked closely with many other talented artists.

Sun, a native of China, has been recognized as a talented violinist since her childhood, including winning the gold medal at the Gao Hua Chinese Youth Violin Competition at the age of 11.

Chu and Sun are also dedicated educators. Chu resides in Saginaw where she teaches from her private studio as well as SVSU. Sun works as an assistant professor of violin at Central Michigan University and spends her summers teaching at the Bay View Music Festival.
