The virtuoso pianist Jong-Gyung Park (born in Korea) is to play at Sunderland for the very first time. A pianist since the age of 3, she gave her orchestral debut at the age of 13 with no less than the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She is a graduate of the New England Conservatory and of the Munich Hochschule as well as the International Piano Foundation at Lake Como in Italy. She is a widely travelled young lady having given recitals and played concertos with major orchestras in Israel, across Europe, North and South America and across Asia.
She has won many International Piano Competition Prizes and is frequently called upon to give Master Classes in the U.S.A., Korea and South America.
We are fortunate that she is based now in this country and our Sunderland audience will be able to enjoy a programme of Schubert (Sonata in A), Ravel (“Gaspard de la Nuit”) and Chopin (All 24 Preludes) played on the internationally famous Steinway Concert Grand Piano that is the pride of the Society.
