Ah Young Hong – Past Concerts

A soprano of “fearlessness and consummate artistry” (Opera News), Ah Young Hong has interpreted a vast array of repertoire, ranging from the music of Monteverdi to Georg Friedrich Haas. Widely recognized for her work in Michael Hersch’s monodrama "On the Threshold of Winter," The New York Times praised Ms. Hong’s performance in the world premiere as “the opera’s blazing, lone star.” Recent performances include solo appearances with violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Camerata Bern, and at the Aldeburgh and Ojai Music Festivals. Highlight concerts of 2021 and 2022 include the premiere performances in the title role of Hersch’s "POPPAEA" at the Wien Modern and ZeitRäume Basel Festivals, and title role of Fang Man’s "Golden Lily" (excerpts) with Alarm Will Sound. Fall 2022 saw the album release of Hersch’s "the script of storms" with BBC Symphony Orchestra under the New Focus label. Ms. Hong is an associate professor in the Vocal Studies Department of The Peabody Conservatory of Music, Johns Hopkins University.
