Jung Kyung-hwa's Tongyeong International Music Festival Performance Canceled Due to Left Index Finger Injury

"Focusing on Rehabilitation for the Time Being... Considering a Performance This Fall"

Violinist Jung Kyung-hwa's performance at the Tongyeong International Music Festival was canceled due to an injury to her left finger. Her agency stated on the 21st, "After extensive practice, there was an abnormality in her left index finger since the end of last month," adding, "If she overexerts herself, surgery would be inevitable, so the cancellation was unavoidable."

Jung was scheduled to perform Bach's complete "Violin Sonatas" and "Violin Partitas" unaccompanied at the Tongyeong International Music Hall on the 28th and 30th. These pieces all demand exceptional technique, intense concentration, and strong stamina. The nature of the performance had also raised expectations as it marked the 50th anniversary of her debut album, but she was diagnosed with inflammation in her left finger at a hospital that morning. She requires at least four weeks of rest and will focus on rehabilitation for the time being. The agency said, "We are considering performances this fall."

Jung previously halted her performing career in 2005 due to an injury to her left ring finger. After teaching students at the Juilliard School in New York, USA, she resumed her activities in May 2010 through a collaboration on Brahms' Violin Concerto with the Philharmonia Orchestra led by Vladimir Ashkenazy.
