About Jeong-Suk

Dr. Jeong-Suk Bae is the organ faculty at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, where she teaches organ and harpsichord while overseeing the summer organ camp and annual Monaghan Organ Recital Series. She serves First Presbyterian Church Houston as the principal organist and the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart as the assistant organist. Along with the church positions, she’s regularly featured as the organist for Chorus Angelorum Evensongs at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham and choral/orchestral events with Houston Chorale Society.

Bae received Doctor of Musical Arts in Organ Performance at the University of Houston under Roberts Bates and Matthew Dirst. Her former teachers include Albert Travis at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.M., organ performance), Fort Worth, Texas, and Jikang Jung at ChongShin Presbyterian University (B.M., piano performance), Seoul, South Korea.

I believe students’ strengths and possibilities in their process of learning and endeavoring for improvements. Teaching also gives me great learning, and I love those moments.
