Seunghyun Yun (Composer, South Korea, 1966; BA, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea; M.M. in Composition and Computer Music, Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University; D.M.A. in Composition, University of Maryland in College Park) has studied with Yongjin Kim, Robert Hall Lewis, McGregor Boyle, Geoffrey Wright, and Mark E.

"For me, it is important that a composition have an original distinctive character of its own, devoid of the derivative and popular tendencies which sourround us in much new music today. My intent is to create a music of genuine interest to the listener, alternately surprising, intriguing, soothing, stimulating and hopefully inspiring - an experience comparable to the limitless facets of existence." by Robert Hall Lewis
