Helen Sung Trio

[ Celebrating Asian-American and Pacific Islander Month ]

Helen Sung is an acclaimed pianist and composer. A 2021 Guggenheim Fellow, she eschewed her classical upbringing after a jazz epiphany during undergraduate studies. Based in New York City, Sung maintains an active schedule performing, touring, teaching, and recording; her latest album Quartet+ (made possible by a New York Foundation for the Arts NYC Women’s Fund grant with additional support from the Aaron Copland Recording Fund and Jazz Coalition) was named one of Downbeat’s “Best Albums of 2021” and featured as the cover story of JazzTimes’ January 2022 issue. In addition to her own band, Sung has performed with such luminaries as Clark Terry, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter, Regina Carter, Terri Lyne Carrington, and can currently be seen with the Mingus Big Band and Cecile McLorinSalvant’s Ogresse. She has served on the faculties of the Juilliard School, Berklee College of Music, and Columbia University, where she was also the inaugural jazz artist-in-residence at the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute. Sung is a Steinway Artist.

The NAC Fine & Mellow Jazz Concert Series is presented in collaboration with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.

The Series is curated by Endea Owens, Jazz Is: Now! Curatorial Fellow, NJMH
