SANG JOON PARK

(BAROQUE AND MODERN FLUTES)

Flutist Sang Joon Park is the recipient of the prestigious 2005 Samuel Baron Prize awarded at the SUNY Stony Brook University where he earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree under Carol Wincenc. He received his Bachelor of Music from Mannes College under Judith Mendenhall and Thomas Nyfenger and Master of Music from Manhattan School of Music under Linda Chesis. Park is a winner of numerous competitions and awards including Artists International Competition (New York Debut, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall), Downeast Orchestra Competition, LaGuardia Orchestra Competition, Manhattan School of Music and Mannes College of Music Concerto Competitions, Westchester Symphony Competition, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Young Winners Series, Ira Gershwin, Louis Hammershlag, and Lewis Silver Awards, and scholarships from Stony Brook University, Mannes College, and Manhattan School of Music. He served as principal flutist for the Stony Brook Symphony Orchestra, Manhattan Symphony, Downeast Chamber Orchestra, Mannes Symphony, Korean Chamber Sinfonia, Manhhattan Philharmonia, Korean Symphony of New York, Orchestra Musicanti of Seoul, and Amato Opera Orchestra. Other studies include harpsichord with Louis Bagger, conducting with David Gilbert, and composition with Giampaolo Bracali, and has participated in the master classes of Jean-Pierre Rampal, Paula Robison, and Francis Blaisdell.

Sang Joon Park’s interest in baroque flute and baroque performance practice began while pursuing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Stony Brook, where he was a member of its distinguished Baroque Ensemble (Arthur Haas, director). He studied baroque flute with Wilbert Hazelzet, Sandra Miller, Janet See, Stephen Schultz and Jed Wentz and has attended Amherst Early Music Festival, Longy Baroque Institute and Vancouver Early Music Programme. Park is currently a member of several chamber groups including INÉGALE, a New York based international baroque ensemble, which had its successful concert and lecture tour of Taiwan in 2005; ROSSIGNOL AMOUREUX, a traverso-harpsichord duo based in New York and California, which was featured in Trinity Church Concerts at One Series in New York (May 2006); FLYING FORMS, traverso-violin-harpsichord trio dedicated to performing vast range of Baroque and Classical period repertoire; PIP ENSEMBLE, a Period Instrument Performance Quartet, which inaugurated Thousand Islands Park Summer Music Festival in 2005; and ENSEMBLE 212, versatile New York chamber orchestra with repertoire ranging from little known baroque music to newly commissioned 21st Century works.

Having great interest in the 18th Century Spanish Instrumental Music, Park takes frequent trips to Spain for the research of original music manuscript collections. He is an official investigator to the Biblioteca Nacional de España and the Patrimonio Nacional Archivo de Palacio Real, and reserches extensively at the Biblioteca Histórica Municipal de Madrid, Biblioteca Musical Municipal de Madrid, and Biblioteca de la Fundación Juan March. In the United States, Park researches at the Spencer Collection Research Libraries [NYPL], the Research Library of Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts, and the New York Hispanic Society Library. He is presently proceeding with the analysis of an 18th Century Spanish Baroque Instrumental Treatise for its translation into English and Korean languages.
