Kahng, who serves as professor of violin and director of graduate studies at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, is a violinist, researcher, and educator whose work came to the fore through her advocacy for the compositions of American classical composer Florence Price. She has been featured on PBS’ Great Performances episode, “Now Hear This: Florence Price and the American Migration,” and her recording of Florence Price’s Violin Concertos (Albany Records, 2018) has been cited and praised by sources such as The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, and The New York Times as an important contribution to American classical music. The recording has aired on programs like NPR’s Songs we Love, and APM’s Performance Today.
