Education

[edit]

At the age of five, Yung was found playing melodies by ear. Yung, who grew up in the United States, studied privately with Eleanor Sokoloff of the Curtis Institute of Music.[7] He later trained at the Juilliard School pre-college program in New York City, where he was a scholarship student of Frank Lévy and Martin Canin (the teaching assistant of the eminent pedagogue Rosina Lhévinne).[7] He continued his studies with Abbey Simon (who himself was a pupil of Josef Hofmann)[8] at the University of Houston[9][10] in Texas on a music scholarship and Pell grant. While at the university, he taught students from families of extreme poverty at the Yellowstone Academy in the Third Ward part of Houston as part of its urban outreach initiatives. Yung excelled academically, winning prizes[11] for English essays. He graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts from the Department of English and a Bachelor of Music from the Moores School of Music, obtaining summa cum laude honors in both degrees. Upon graduation, he was inducted into the Sigma Tau Delta and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies. He also holds the prestigious Diplôme from the Académie internationale d'été de Nice in France, where he studied with Michel Béroff and Philippe Entremont.[7] Additionally, he took lessons (informally) with Lang Lang, Susan Starr, Garrick Ohlsson, Kenneth Boulton, and Horacio Gutierrez.[12]

Yung matriculated at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, Texas on a full scholarship.[13] While at Texas, he served as a law clerk for the Texas Attorney General, the Travis County Attorney's Office, and the Texas Advocacy Project. He also edited for the Texas Review of Law and Politics[14] and the Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal.[15] He later enrolled at the University of London, where he earned a Bachelor of Laws with First Class Honours.[2][16] He was called to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in London, England as an Associate Member (ACIArb) in 2022.[17] He earned a Certificate in Healthcare Law from Penn[1] and has completed advanced coursework with Yale, Wharton, and Bocconi.

Yung has appeared as a recitalist, chamber-musician, and soloist with orchestras throughout the United States including performances in Philadelphia, New York City, Seattle, and Houston, as well as abroad in Spain and France. He made his first public appearance at the age of 6. At age 11, he was asked to perform Beethoven's "Waldstein" Sonata at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts' Master Class Series for the pianist Jon Kimura Parker. At age 13, he made his professional début with the Delaware Symphony Orchestra at the Grand Opera House[18] Youth Concert Series.

Notable venues include the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, the Teatro de Puigcerdá, the Grand Opera House in Delaware, Benaroya Hall, Yamaha Salon, Steinway Hall in New York City, the Kosciuszko Foundation, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

Yung has donated to Democrats and Republicans, including U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren[24] and Governor of Texas Greg Abbott.[25] He has been a member of the Federalist Society, the American Constitution Society, as well as the American Bar Association, and has donated to Students for Fair Admissions.[26][27] In 2019, Yung received a 46-month sentence for cyberstalking after pleading guilty and agreeing to pay restitution.[28]
