Praised for her exceptional musical insight, beautiful tone, and technical command, the Korean-born American pianist Suk Hee Hong actively performs as a compelling soloist and a collaborative pianist in venues across the United States, Paraguay, and Chile. She has been featured as a soloist with The South Shore Symphony Orchestra in Chopin Concerto No. 1 in E minor Op.11 under Barbara Yahr, and most recently in Manuel de Falla Night in the Gardens of Spain under Scott Jackson Wiley-Conductor. 

She has collaborated with many instrumental ensemble groups and vocalists and performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and other major halls in New York and South America. Highly sought after by musicians for her extensive repertoire, she continues to perform in concerts and recitals. She gained recognition from a prominent American composer and flutist Ms. Katherine Hoover and continued collaboration with Ms. Hoover for many years until her passing in 2018.  

Ms. Hong holds a Bachelor and Master of Music in piano performance from the Manhattan School of Music, and she dedicatedly serves as an adjunct faculty, vocal and instrumental coach, and accompanist at Molloy University.
