​​​​​​This facility boasts a Steinway D piano, and is home to

the Heida Hermanns International Piano Competition.  


​​​Classical music has been known to bear abundant benefits for all age groups. 

We believe that training  children in classical music results in fortitude, concentration and a strong work ethic.

The JUMY Foundation would like to encourage, promote and reward the efforts of youngsters who strive for their best in classical music training.             
In collaboration with the Department of Music at the Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) 

and with the enthusiastic  support of Dr. Russell Hirshield, Professor of Music,

the JUMY Foundation launched the annual "J.Y. Park Piano Competition" in 2014.

We had 8 successful competitions. 

We are grateful for the  privilege and support of West Connecticut Music department.  

In 2024, we will hold the event at Museum of Contemporary Art(MoCA), Westport, Connecticut.
