As organist Chun currently serves First Baptist Church of Ann Arbor (American Baptist) in Michigan. Separately from her responsibilities at the church, she runs the AD LIBITUM Concert Series (fall-spring), connecting local audiences with professional musicians from near and far through a variety of music. As part of the AD LIBITUM Concert Series, she is passionate to educate the audience more about organ and harpsichord as instruments as well as music itself written for those two instruments through the Baroque Art of Variation and Embellishment Series and Performance and Lecture Series. 

Chun received her doctoral degree in Organ Performance and her master’s degree in Harpsichord Performance from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Nursing Science, a bachelor’s degree in Church Music and a master’s degree in Organ Performance from Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

Her two organ solo CDs with the music from the Lutheran heritage, which were recorded on the Fisk Organ, Op.87 at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), were released upon the request by Redeemer Lutheran Church in St. Clair Shores, Michigan: The Angels Dance and On Cherubim Wings. Music selections from these CDs were featured on Pipedreams, a nationally broadcasted radio station devoted to organ music in the U.S.
