HELL'S KITCHEN, Manhattan (WABC) -- A highly trained violinist is taking to Port Authority to warm up for the biggest stage.

Kang is a classically trained violinist and she has played in front of full orchestras to international acclaim with subtle and graceful elegance and power. She was a child when she played her first nationally televised concert.

"I think I was nine years old," Kang said.

Privately, Kang wanted more, and a while back, she got a chance to explore that. After a lifetime on the classical stage, Kang played a whole tour with Lady Gaga's band - and she learned a few things.

"She is always growing," she said.



Now she is on a tour of festivals in New York and New Jersey playing whatever she feels like.
