Loyola welcomes Dr. Jihea Hong-Park for a masterclass featuring current Loyola students.
Korean American pianist Jihea Hong-Park enjoys a versatile and active career as a recitalist, educator, chamber musician, teaching artist, workshop presenter, and interdisciplinary arts collaborator. Hong-Park currently holds the position of Associate Professor of Piano at Brigham Young University. Prior to her appointment at BYU, she taught on the piano faculty at The Juilliard School’s Evening Division for 14 years and was a lead teaching artist at the New York Philharmonic.
