Media coverage
December 2009
Bryant Manning, a contributing music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and other publications, reviewed Sara Su's performance of the Bruch Violin Concerto at St. James Cathedral in an article published in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin (12/14/09): "The apex of Thursday night's concert was CBASO concertmaster Sara Su Jones' deeply engaging performance of the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1. Ms. Jones is a violinist of enviable gifts, and her account of this repertory standard was at once invigorating, lyrical and dramatic. Who knew so much theater existed in a broad stroke of the bow? From her rich, burnished tone in the Adagio to the flexibility of the festive Finale, Ms. Jones pulled her audience in and kept them there."
