Pianist Caroline Hong made her debut at Carnegie Weill Recital Hall as a winner of the Frinna Awerbuch International Piano Competition and has since performed throughout the world. She has been noted by critics for her “expressive and powerful playing” and “formidable technique.” Academy Award-winning composer John Corigliano recognized her as “one of the greatest pianists I have ever heard.” As a chamber musician, she has performed with many fine-artist groups, including the Vermeer String Quartet and the Dorian Wind Quintet, and toured extensively in the U.S. as a member of the piano-violin duo, Duo Viardot. She will play the Bach Goldberg Variations.
