Joanne Kong has been praised for “great finesse and flexibility” (The Washington Post), “superb” playing (The Boston Globe), “remarkable technical ability” (The Oregonian), and “superb artistry” (San Antonio Express-News) for works “sensitively played” (The New York Times). Her versatility includes the distinction of being the first artist to release a harpsichord-piano recording of Bach’s Goldberg and Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, and appearing as concerto soloist on both instruments in the premiere of Side by Side by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Colgrass, premiered by the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Esprit Orchestra, and the Richmond Symphony. As a gifted chamber musician she has collaborated with numerous artists and ensembles and currently performs in a duo with cellist Christoph Wagner. Dr. Kong is in demand for master classes in keyboard performance, chamber music, vocal coaching, Baroque interpretation, and performance anxiety, and she is currently the Coordinator of Chamber Music Ensembles at the University of Richmond.
