Pianist Junie Cho has appeared as soloist with orchestras, recitalist and chamber musician throughout the United States and in Asia. Her performance of Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto with Prime Symphony Orchestra at Merkin Hall in New York City was acclaimed for its “majestic resonance and graceful melodies”. The New York debut recital at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall has been followed by engagements of solo recitals and chamber music concerts with members of the New York Philharmonic and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
In 2014 she joined the piano faculty at Appalachian State University Hayes School of Music in North Carolina, where she held residency until 2023. Cho attended Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, The Mannes College and Manhattan School of Music where she earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree. Her teachers include Woonkyung Kang, Alfonso Montecino, James Tocco, Marylène Dosse, Lilian Kallir, Robert McDonald, Claude Frank, and Nina Svetlanova. While maintaining performance schedule, she is frequently invited to give lectures and masterclasses, and to adjudicate competitions in the United States and in Korea.
