My Blog (written in Korean) at blog.naver.com/jhjascha
I got into "blogging" in 2008 and have posted my thoughts on music, espresso, cafes, food and traveling. 

Violinist Benjamin Sung at www.benjaminsung.com
My wonderful husband/ Concertmaster of Fargo-Moorhead Symphony/ Faculty member at North Dakota State University and Minnesota State University Moorhead.

Composer David Dzubay at www.pronovamusic.comConductor 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
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!
 
Indiana University School of Music at www.music.indiana.edu
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. TMC experience was 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. It is a beautiful place with great music and performances!

Artist Marjorie Schlossman at www.robertsstreetchapletproject.com
She's an amazing painter, a big supporter of art and music in Fargo-Moorhead area, and a violinist, and a mother of seven children! I met her through my husband before I watched the movie about her chaplet project (by Mary Trunk), which was so fascinating. She built a beautiful chapel that is open to pucblic and aspire to inspire and comfort whoever comes in -it is located in downtown Fargo, on Roberts Steet. I am so lucky to use the studio behind the Roberts Street chapel. I hope I will be able to create some beautiful music that can inspire people.
