“I have always wanted to play the 24 caprices by Paganini. I remember my
aunt buying me the album when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I listened
and thought that I would also play them someday. Instead of overwhelming
me, they encouraged me to play the string instrument,” said Yang, Kumho
Art Hall’s artist-in-residence for 2018.
“I want to prove that the 24 caprices are worth presenting to the
audience. They are physically taxing to play, but I wanted to perform
this year, before it becomes too late for me to play,” Yang said,
adding, “The fact that Paganini himself did not play the pieces
intrigued me.”
