After a year, the first Chinese organist who have graduated from the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) in the United Kingdom returned to Fuzhou to once again deliver a spectacular organ music performance for the local audience.
On April 20, Dr. Chang Xiaoting performed "We Thank You, God, We Thank You" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," composed by the renowned German composer and keyboardist Johann Sebastian Bach, at her opening in the new hall of Huaxiang Lane Church.
On March 15, last year, Chang was invited to give her debut solo organ concert at the church.
Dr. Chang, born in 1997 in Harbin, started learning to play the one-row electronic keyboard when she was three years old. She is the first Chinese organ performance doctor at the Royal Academy of Music and became the youngest doctor in that area in the world at the age of 23. As a young organist, she has released over one hundred classical organ solos and arrangements, along with a series of music education videos, some of which have received over one million views.
In front of an audience of over 2,000 local church staff and congregants, Chang performed dozens of world-famous pieces composed by renowned musicians such as Cesar Franck, Gabriel Fauré, Iain Farrington, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Franz Schubert, and Georg Friedrich Händel.
During the Sunday service at the church the following day, Dr. Chang also performed two organ pieces composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.
