Korean organ virtuoso Jung-A Lee puts the Manuel Rosales Los Angeles Philharmonic organ through its paces in her album A Private Organ Recital in Walt Disney Concert Hall. Jim Mulally served as executive producer. We dedicated Jung-A’s Yarlung debut recording to Simon Woods, our new CEO at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Yarlung Artists commissioned Adam Knight Gilbert to write Woods and Brooks in Simon’s honor, and Yarlung commissioned Jung-A’s arrangement of Blessed Assurance for her concert and recording as well.
Jung-A is appreciated internationally for her talents as an organist, pianist and conductor. She received her doctorate at Boston University, her master’s at Yale where she received the Charles Ives prize, and her undergraduate degree at Toronto University. Jung-A served as organ scholar at The Memorial Church, Harvard University, during her time in Boston.
In addition to performing at such prestigious venues as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, the Cadet Chapel at West Point, at Harvard University’s Memorial Church and at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., Jung-A performs regularly in Europe and Asia.
Jung-A currently serves as organist at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach California and she founded Music Mission International in 2009 in order to promote organ music and worship.
We hope you enjoy Jung-A’s infectious, often humorous and deeply inspired playing
