March's Second Sunday concert features violinist Janet Sung and pianist Kuang-Hao Huang.

Since her orchestral debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony at age 9, Janet Sung has performed with leading orchestras and in recitals worldwide.  She enjoys an acclaimed international career as a virtuoso soloist, recognized for her intense, exhilarating performances, and by her signature lustrous, burnished tone.  Hailed by The Washington Post for her “riveting” playing and “exquisite tone”, her playing possesses the rare blend of fierce intelligence, subtlety and brilliant virtuosity.

Pianist Kuang-Hao Huang has performed throughout the United States as well as in Europe and Asia. Mr. Huang is most often heard as a collaborator, performing concerts and radio broadcasts with Chicago's finest musicians, from instrumentalists of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to singers with the Lyric Opera. He has performed with the Avalon, Euclid, Spektral and Vermeer String Quartets and has been a guest of the Chicago Chamber Musicians.

They will perform Beethoven’s Sonata No. 1 in D Major, Op. 12, Sonata for Violin and Piano in E flat major, Op. 18 by Strauss, and Ravel’s Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano.

The Second Sunday Concert Series is a collaboration between WAUS 90.7 FM, the Andrews University Department of Music, and the Howard Performing Arts Center. These afternoon chamber music recitals are a continuation of the Second Sunday Concerts held at Fernwood Botanical Gardens during the summer months. The Second Sunday Concerts at the Howard Center run from October through April and feature Andrews University faculty and local musicians.
