Join Edward Auer and Junghwa Moon-Auer for a joint recital at Hammond Hall. Edward
Auer will perform Chopin’s B flat minor sonata op. 58. Junghwa Moon-Auer will
perform Chopin’s B-flat minor sonata op, 35 ‘funeral March sonata’. Together they will
present Schubert’s F minor fantasy for 4 hands.
With a performance career spanning over 30 countries on five continents, Auer has given
numerous solo recitals and concertos with top international orchestras including the Los
Angeles Philharmonic, Paris Orchestre Philharmonique, and Berlin Radio Orchestra. He
has appeared at prominent international festivals including Salzburg, and served as a
juror for the International Chopin Competition and Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow,
among many others. In 1965, he was the first American to win a prize at the Seventh
International Chopin Competition in Warsaw; this was followed by successes at the
Beethoven Competition in Vienna, Concours Marguerite Long, and Tchaikovsky
Competition, the last garnering him an invitation to the White House.
Pianist Junghwa Moon Auer received her education in Korea and in the United States,
holding a Masters Degree from the New England Conservatory and a Doctorate from the
College Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati. She returned to Seoul, but soon afterward
married pianist Edward Auer and came to live in Bloomington. For the last 10 years they
have been performing together more and more frequently in the US, Canada, Korea,
Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Ms. Moon's signature achievement in Bloomington has been the dramatic development of
the Edward Auer Chopin Class into the Edward Auer Piano Workshop. Although the
Chopin Class had existed for some time as a small annual event, Ms. Moon saw its
potential, and, as Coordinator, built it step by step and year by year into what it is today.
She introduced a solo competition, which was a great success. In 2014, the workshop
took a gamble on one of Junghwa’s dreams for the Workshop: a concerto competition,
with opportunities for two participants to perform a full concerto with orchestra. The
entire Workshop was streamed and archived for the first time at JSoM in 2015, enabling
remote participation and tremendously increasing the Workshop’s geographical reach; in
2016, chamber music was introduced. And now, in 2017, all five Beethoven Piano
Concerti were performed for the first time together at the Jacobs School (with Ms. Moon
playing no. 1.)
