Music in the kitchen

Violinist Yoojin Jang hated practicing when she was a kid. But she always loved performing -- even if only for her mom in the kitchen. Jang is our newest Young Artist in Residence, and this weekend she'll join Fred in the studio to discuss her earliest kitchen performances and to play music by Jean Sibelius.
