electrified audiences throughout the United States and Asia. A Juilliard graduate and Fulbright
scholar,
she is broadening the classical organ repertoire with her own
Asian-inspired
compositions. In the past year she performed to
great acclaim at Singapore's Esplanade, Hong Kong's Cultural Centre, and Los Angeles's
