About the Performers
Soprano Hyo Sun Park is a second-year PhD student in Physics at MIT, specializing in Experimental Atomic Physics in Prof. Wolfgang Ketterle's group. Originally from South Korea, Hyo Sun studied Physics at Bryn Mawr/Haverford Colleges, where she began formal vocal training with Suzanne DuPlantis during her freshman year. While in college, Hyo Sun won the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Concerto Competition with Mozart's Exsultate, Jubilate and performed as a soloist with the Bi-Co Chorale and Orchestra. She sang with the Bi-Co Chamber Singers for four years and gave annual recitals.
At MIT, Hyo Sun studies voice with Kendra Colton as an Emerson-Harris Fellow for Classical Voice and is a member of the MIT Chamber Chorus. She was the featured soloist for the MIT Concert Choir's performances of Mozart's Requiem and Poulenc's Gloria, and the MIT Chamber Chorus's performance of the newly commissioned piece Grace by MIT Professor Charles Shadle, all directed by Ryan Turner. Hyo Sun feels fortunate to have worked with Nathan Zullinger, Heidi Jacob, Ting Ting Wong, and Kerry Deal. She is honored to collaborate with Seolyeong and give her first solo recital at MIT this spring!
About the Emerson/Harris Program for Private Study
Support for private musical study is available for students through the Emerson/Harris Program (E/HP), which offers merit-based financial awards for outstanding achievement on instruments or voice in classical, jazz, or world music. Each academic year, the program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly seventy students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the musical life of MIT.
Auditions for the program are held at the beginning of each academic year. Private teacher selections, made in consultation with the E/HP jury heads, may include instructors from MIT staff and throughout Greater Boston. The Emerson/Harris Program is funded by the late Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941), in response to an appeal from AssociateProvost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music). The Emerson/Harris Masterclass Series is supported, in part, by the Robert L. Malster (1956) Fund.
