ClefWorks at www.clefworks.org
This is a chamber music festival that my husband, violinist Benjamin Sung, and our dearest friends Elmore and Miles DeMott, along with Carrie Banks and Hrant Parsamian created with tons of financial support and volunteer work from City of Montgomery. ClefWorks aspires to promote chamber music and education in creative settings. Also it encourages interactions with other forms of arts such as dance, theatre, and fine arts. The premiere season in 2007 was a big success, and magic was all around the air!

I feel obliged to put a link to the place I spent almost 8 years of my 20s!
Tanglewood Music Center at www.bso.org/tmc
I spent two summers at Tanglewood as an Instrumental Piano Fellow, and they were among the most important musical events of my life.. The performance of Ligeti Horn Trio at Ozawa Hall in 2005 made me feel like a musician, not a student. Such a wonderful place with great music and performances!

He is my wonderful, loving, sometimes procrastinating husband. This is not an active site yet. Hopefully he will get together some things to put up before too late. . .
Composer David Dzubay at www.pronovamusic.com
Conductor and director of the New Music Ensemble at Indiana University/ Composition Faculty at Indiana University/ 2007 Guggenheim fellow. I was a member of IU NME for a few years, and had fun time working with him. Also my independent studies were conducted under his guidance. I and my husband Ben Sung, violinist, had a great fun working on his piece “Capriccio” for violin and piano and have performed it several times.
Composer Garrett Byrnes at www.musicacosmopolita.us
Composition Faculty at Ball State University.
He composed a set of six piano etudes (Cosmopolitan Etudes) in 2003 and was looking for a pianist to perform them. He was a friend of Ben, and I reluctantly agreed to play them at the composition department recital. It was received with so much enthusiasm (and the pieces were great – they were dedicated to me, consiquently) that I started playing more new music and in the new music ensemble. I owe great thanks to Garrett!
Composer Steve Rouse at www.steverouse.com
Composer/ Composition faculty at University of Louisville.
Professor Dzubay introduced me and Ben to Professor Rouse when he was looking for performers to record his Sonata for Violin and Piano. We have enjoyed working with him and sharing some wonderful times in Louisville together.
