PARSIPPANY – Harmony Chau, a 2013 Graduate of Parsippany Hills High School will perform at Kafe Mozart on Thursday, June 23 at 7:00 p.m.
Harmony is a Music Education major at Montclair State University, and studies classical piano under the tutelage of Dr. Youn-Hee Bang Kim. At age 5, she began learning classical piano and continued until high school. It was not until late high school that she decided to pursue music as a career, and auditioned for music colleges. During freshman year of college, she entered the John J. Cali School of Music as a vocal major, but later decided to switch to piano as she rediscovered her love of the instrument.
Some of Harmony’s latest solo piano performances include repertoire by Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Prokofiev, and Schubert. She has also performed Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite for Two Pianos and accompanied in a Baroque chamber ensemble. She often performs at Jed Leshowitz Recital Hall at Montclair State University and has visited Glenfield Middle School for a guest performance. Additionally, as of 2015, Harmony became the organist for Mine Hills Presbyterian Church and accompanies their church service every Sunday.
Currently, Harmony is also learning jazz piano with the accomplished Dr. Jeffrey Kunkel, whose musical endeavors focus on the unique styles of Brazil. She aspires to follow the footsteps of jazz greats like Bill Evans, Wynton Marsalis, and Thelonious Monk.
Kafe Mozart is located at 2900 Route 10 West, Powder Mill Plaza West, Parsippany. For reservations please call (973) 998-7788 or visit www.kafemozart.com.
