A prize winner of many national and international competitions, and an active pianist for solo and ensemble, Dr. Soojung Hong performs internationally and at regional concert venues in the Midwest.

As a passionate educator, Dr. Hong instructs and teaches students of all ages and abilities.   She is piano faculty at Normandale Community College and MacPhail Center for Music and adjunct faculty at North Central University.  Soojung Hong holds a Bachelor of Arts in Piano Performance from Ewha Women’s University, South Korea, as well as a Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Minnesota on a full scholarship.

Jeffrey Patry serves as the staff accompanist at Normandale Community College and is the director of music at First Lutheran Church in Columbia Heights.  He is no stranger to the Church of St. Therese.  Many of us have heard him play for funerals and other masses as an exceptional substitute.

Jeffrey studied organ at St. Olaf College in Northfield, and can be heard playing all over the 5-state area doing recitals and organ dedications.

A freewill offering will go to defer the cost of the recital.
