2026 Proms season showcase - Hana Chang
Hana Chang plays Edvard Grieg's Violin Sonata no. 2, a work reflecting the happiness of his recent marriage as well as his love of the rhythms of Norwegian folk music.
Georgia Mann introduces specially recorded performances from some of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists. Today, the lyrical violin of American violinist Hana Chang is heard in Edvard Grieg's tender Violin Sonata no. 2. Written during his honeymoon, this sonata is imbued with the rhythmic contours of the Norwegian springar (leaping dance), and it beautifully reflects the newlyweds' happiness and the Grieg's deepening connection to his native musical roots.

Hana Chang (violin), Arthur Hinnewinkel (piano)
