She has performed basso continuo in Bach’s Cantata with the Saint Peter’s Bach Collegium and the solo organ part in BWV 170 with the Gödi Baroque Ensemble in Hungary. Her other performances in chamber music includes the Early Music Collective Concert with the ECU Baroque Ensemble, a concert celebrating Bach at St. Paul’s, Greenville, and accompanying the ECU Chamber Singers Choir. Jonghee has also performed with Eastern and Western instruments in the chapel of Ewha Women’s University. Jonghee has also worked with organ builders at C.B.
