of the Arts. He completed his Master of Music degree

He has performed
major operatic roles in countries throughout
the world as well as sung in solo, chamber,
and oratorio
settings.
He has taught in Czechoslovakia, Belgium, and

University in Philadelphia where he taught applied
voice
and

German, French, and Italian in addition to English
and
his native Korean. San-ky firmly believes that
singing, like all other forms of art, is an
aesthetic expression of communicative gestures.
San-ky
and his violinist wife Irina share their newest
passion
for Argentinean Tango, where musical communicative
gestures take on physical aspect.
