Ye-Eun Choi, violin
20-year-old Ye-Eun Choi is rapidly establishing a reputation as one of the most promising violin talents to emerge from Europe, Asia and USA in recent years.

Highlights of the 2007-2008 season included her performances with English Chamber Orchestra under Ralf Gothony (Beethoven Romances), a return visit to the Montreal Symphony with Kent Nagano (Mozart Concerto No. 3) and concerts at the Frankfurt Alter Oper and the Fraunkirche in Dresden with Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Trondheim Soloists (Bach Double Concerto in D minor).

She will make her debut with the New York Philharmonic in October 2009 under the baton of Alan Gilbert.
Devoted to chamber music, Ye-Eun performs at festivals around the world including Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Asiago (Italy), Gdansk (Poland) Verbier and Rheingau. In summer 2008, she was invited to ‘La Folle journée au Japon’ (Tokyo) for concerts with the Prazak Quartet and Plamena Mangova as well as being invited by Gidon Kremer to the Lockenhaus and Kronberg festivals, where she performed with Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet, Lynn Harell and Khatia Buniatishvili.
Ye-Eun Choi was born in 1988, Seoul, South Korea and studied as a junior student at the Korean University of Arts with Nam Yun Kim. In 2004 she moved to Germany to study with Ana Chumachenco at the Musikhochschule in Munich. Her exceptional talent and musical maturity were quickly recognized and she was awarded major prizes in several international competitions: the International Tchaikovsky Competition for the Young Musicians (14 years old), the Leopold-Mozart International Competition (15 years old), Montreal International Musical Competition (youngest participant), and the Indianapolis International Competition(18 years old).
In 2005 she was brought to the attention of Anne-Sophie Mutter, soon becoming a recipient of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation scholarship and continuing to benefit from professional and personal support from Miss Mutter. Since her meeting with Maestro Christoph Eschenbach in 2007 she has benefitted greatly from studying regularly with him on a personal basis. In the same year she was selected as one of ‘the Emerging Artists of the Year’ by the American Symphony Orchestra League.
