2015 Sookmyung International Exchange at CCM

2015 marked the inaugural year of a three year event exchange agreement between CCM and Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, Korea. Students from Sookmyung visited CCM with their faculty mentor and conductor and participated in numerous events with CCM students and faculty. Some of these events included master classes, private lessons, and chamber music coachings. The event in 2015 culminated in a final concert of the Sookmyung Sinfonietta in Werner Recital Hall followed by a reception in the Baur Room.

In 2016 Tim and Catharine Lees visited Sookmyung University with two doctoral students from CCM. While there, they collaborated in chamber music with the two CCM students and Sookmyung faculty. This trip also provided the opportunity for Timothy and Catharine Lees to present master classes and provide private lessons for the students at Sookmyung Women’s University. Sookmyung and CCM alum, Dr. Gi-Yeon Koh, was featured as soloist with the Sookmyung University Orchestra performing Rozsa Viola Concerto.
