SOPHY'S ABEND SERIES, 2018–2019 (Concert )

Sophy's Abend Series is a recital-style music project presented by pianist Hea Youn Sophy Chung in collaboration with instrumentalists (Sonatenabend) and vocalists (Liederabend). Collaborative pianists are often chosen to accompany or play for soloists during their recitals.

This allows for a wide range of program selections and creates unique opportunities for musical collaborations.
