January 27, 2008; 3 PM: Jung Sun Yoon, fortepiano.

Jung Sun has been practicing piano since early childhood. For her, piano is a life time company and best vehicle to document her perception and interpretation of the world.  Seven years of studying in Germany define her individual style, developed and polished years later at Boston University College of Fine. Her desire for depth and authenticity has grown into an interest for period keyboard instruments ? the harpsichord, clavichord and fortepiano that is pursuing as a doctoral candidate at Boston University.
