My name is Sang Won Park (my friends call me David), and I am currently a first-year graduate student studying piano performance at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. I currently study under the legendary Dr. Stewart Gordon. Before I started attending USC Thornton School of Music, I participated in many Certificate of Merit examinations and local recitals/competitions (and earned first and third prizes in them). In the previous years during my time at USC, I successfully presented my sophomore (spring 2018) and junior (spring 2019) recitals, both of which were not for a degree. I also successfully presented my mandatory senior recital this past April (which was conducted virtually because of COVID-19). I then graduated from USC with Cum Laude and earned a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance this past May; however, I am currently continuing my education in the same institution as a piano performance major in the Master's program. I also earned first prizes in Best Brahms Performance (2018) and Music of the 20th Century (2020) and second prize in Best Bach Performance (2019).
