  2. Hi Julia

    What a privilege to hear you perform the 3 pieces last night at the Old Cliftonian's reunion at Clifton College! Your 2 standing ovations were very well deserved, and I admit that your brilliant playing brought a tear to my eye. I completely adore Monti's Czardas having heard it played as part of 'Gypsy Carnival' at Clifton in 1980. Piazzolla's Tango was outstanding.

    I was also one of Richard Crabtree's students back in his early days at Clifton in 1977, though his time was wasted on me - at least he has a whole different calibre of material to work with in you.

    I'm delighted to have had the chance to hear you play. Go girl - you rock! All the very best for your future.

    Mike Farr, Old Cliftonian

  3. Dear Julia (if I may call you that),

    I attended your concert last night and you were absolutely wonderful. Warmest congratulations! I didn't want to intrude but now regret that I didn't try to meet you afterwards.

    I have emailed my friend the conductor Jiři Bělohlávek about you, though he has probably already heard of you!

    I'm an old man, 77, but a music lover, which has I think helped to keep me young at heart. Hearing you was an inspiration and gave me enormous pleasure. I know Robert Telian as I support the local Music Academy. I will try to follow your career on the internet and wish you every success and happiness.

    From an admirer, Tom Schrecker.

    I have to say, I've listened about an hour worth of interpretations here on YouTube, and this one is my very favorite; and we've got versions of amazing violonists, but nothing as perfectly musical, as passionnate as this. Technique doesn't matter, seems that age doesn't either: only the music does. Miss Hwang, you can be the very best if you want to, and frankly I hope you do.

    Keep on!

  5. 정원아 ! 축하한다. 좋은 소식을 들려줘서 ..... 정원이가 지난번에 교회에서 연주를 할때 너무 감사했단다. 아빠와 엄마와는 이 아저씨가 조금 친해^^ 인터뷰하는 대견한 모습도 좋다. 정원이가 영국 간지가 얼마 안된것 같은데 .... 아주 훌륭하게 성장을 하고 있는 모습이 좋다. 하나님께서 정원이의 갈길을 알려주시리라 믿는다. 이 아저씨도 뮤지컬을 만드는 직업을 가지고 있는데 개인적인 시간들을 많이 포기해야 할때가 있어서 정원이의 마음을 아주 조금은 안다. 엄마에게도 안부 전해주고 준형이 오빠에게도 안부 전해주라. 아빠는 주일날 교회에서 뵙고 있단다. 황정원 아자아자! 하나님의 은총이 언제나 정원이에게 임하길 기도한다.

  6. 정원아.. 윤주언니 엄마 기억하지? ^^

    너의 좋은 소식들..네가 그곳에서 얼마나 기특하게 잘 자라주고 있는지 잘 듣고 있단다.

    대견하고 기특하고...알쥐?

    아무튼 네가 하는 분야에서 최고가 되기까지 쉽지 않은 시간들을 걸어가야 하겠지만

    하나님은 네가 가장 잘 할 수 있는 것, 또 네가 가장 좋아하는 길들을 주셨으리란 생각을 해 본다.

    그것이 음악이라면 그것들을 충분히 즐기면서 감사함으로 잘 걸어가길 기도해.

    늘 네 뒤엔 하나님이 함께하시고 지켜보신다는 믿음으로 힘내구...

    울 정원에게 화이팅을 보낸다...

    그리고 다시한번 좋은 성적 거둠..또한 축하하구...

  7. 정원이 안녕?

    나는 아빠가 하늘가족으로 있는 나들목교회의 사당가정교회 목자란다

    오랜만에 아빠가 서울에 오셔서 정원이의 기쁜 소식을 한아름 안고 오셨더구나

    음악에 있어 한국인의 위상을 세계에 떨치고 있는 정원이가 자랑스럽구나

    목표를 향해서 꾸준히 가고 또한 그 분야에서 최고가 되기 위해서

    개인적으로 참아야 할 일들이 많이 있겠지만 그 뒤에는 기쁨과 보람이 클터이니

    이 모든 일에 최선을 다하는 정원이를 기대한다.

    건강하구 또 실력못지 않게 예쁘게 자라려므나.

    아빠가 정원이 홈페이지를 소개해줘서 이렇게 들어와 첫인사를 한다.

    즐거운 날 되길 바랄게^^*

  8. 사랑하는 딸 정원아

    이번에 너와 한달간 있으면서 연주를 잘하기 위해 너가 얼마나 수고하는지를 보았다.

    아빠는 너가 지금이라도 음악을 그만 두고 다른 것을 한다고 하더라도 말리지않겠다.

    그러나 음악을, 바이올린을 계속하려면, 너가 하고싶은 다른 많은 것들을 포기 해야하고,

    하루에 몇시간씩 연습해야 한다는 너의 말을 듣고, 아빠는 너가 대견하기도 하고 또한 안타깝기도 하단다.

    이제 너가 바이올린을 계속하기로 결정했으니, 너가 즐거운 마음으로 하기를 바란다.

    또한 너에게 그러한 달란트를 주신 하나님을 항상 잘 믿으며, 감사하는 마음을 갖기를 바란다. 너의 바이올린 연주 소리를 통해 사람들에게 감동을 주며, 하나님의 사랑이 전달되기를 바란다.

    사랑한다 정원아

Quotes from Musicians

"My first experience of Julia’s playing was a performance of Winter from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons when she was eight years old. It was clear from the outset that this was a prodigious talent. I have followed her subsequent development with great interest. She has, even at the tender age of 11, matured into a performer of élan. She has a tremendous work ethic, but never sounds in any way robotic or “over-schooled”. Indeed, to the contrary, she already plays with an unfettered flair and individuality.

Whilst it is self-evident that Julia has a wonderful technique, it was her performance of the Violin Sonata by César Frank at St George’s, Brandon Hill in February of 2008, which proved her to possess a musical maturity far beyond her years.

In short, Julia is something of a phenomenon"

Martin Pring, composer and conductor, Chamber Orchestra of Wales, Associate Conductor European Festival Orchestra

 16 Feb 2009

"Julia is a marvel. She stunned orchestra and audience alike with her flawless Mozart and even had energy to spare for an encore. Tremendous!"

Andrew Morley, Conductor St. Paul's Sinfonia, London 

 19 Dec 2008

'Julia played Mozart's third violin concerto with a brilliance, poise and warmth that was truly remarkable for one so young. Her charming, relaxed attitude to the whole process of rehearsing and performing with experienced musicians was spot on, and the orchestra is already greatly looking forward to her next visit.'

'Samuel Burstin, Violist, Philharmonia Orchestra of London and Joint Principal Viola Opera North'

 19 Dec 2008

"'It is very rare for any examiner to witness such remarkable talent in one so young... I wish you luck' ."

Julia's Grade 8 examiner, The Trinity Board of Examinations
