GREEN BAY — University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Music will present “Faculty Recital: Sylvia Hong and Michael Rector, duo pianists” at 3 p.m. Sunday in Fort Howard Hall, Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.

UW-Green Bay faculty members Hong and Rector return to the Weidner Center for the first time since their performance in the Olympic city of Gangneung during the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Korea.

The “duo pianists” will present a recital featuring pieces by Schubert, Ravel and Copland as well as solo pieces by Strauss and Debussy. The event is free and open to the public.

Hong and Rector have played recitals at the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul. In April 2013, they won the second prize and Abild Prize for the best performance of American music at the Ellis Competition for Duo Pianists.

In April 2014, they toured in eastern Europe, performing with the Georgian Sinfonietta and Black Sea Symphony.

Highlights of their numerous tours in Korea include playing two sold-out concerts on the same day in Busan, and the invitation to perform with the city orchestra in Gangneung during the 2018 winter games.
