Performances and Lectures in Italy and South Korea
Hyunjung Rachel Chung, assistant professor of music
This summer, I will give solo recitals, master classes, and lectures in Italy — Rome, Assisi, Grumo-Appula and Binetto, and Seoul and Gyeongju in South Korea. The concerts in Italy will include two world premieres: “Toccata” (2010) dedicated to me by Italian composer Dr. Giuseppe Lupis, and “Four Poems” (2011) by Australian composer Marek Pasieczny. I have collaborated with Turkish composer and professor Özkan Manav at the Mimar Sinan University to perform his award-winning Movement 6 during the Grumo Music Festival.
Having been selected among 260 proposals for the College Music Society Biannual International Conference in Korea, I will give a lecture at the Ewha Woman’s University in Seoul, and perform in the CMS Composers Concert in Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla Dynasty.
