 Born in Korea to a non-musical 
 family, Young Hyun Cho was introduced 
 to Western classical music at an early age. 
 Young Hyun soon enjoyed spending hours practicing 
 the piano, thanks to her father's influence, 
 an anesthesiologist who loves to listen 
 to the radio on the classical music channel. 
 After attending Yewon Middle School, Seoul 
 Arts High School, and Seoul National University 
 in Seoul, she left for the United States to 
 pursue further studies. Young Hyun Cho obtained 
 her Master of Music and Graduate Performance 
 Diploma from the Peabody Conservatory and 
 her Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the 
 Eastman School of Music. \n
 \n
 A concert review 
 in the Aachen newspaper in Germany called Cho 
 a "blessed interpreter of Beethoven." 
 She is now working on a project to record 
 all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas. Her concerts 
 and recordings, including "Beethoven's 
 Last Three Piano Sonatas" on the Sony release 
 and "Beethoven's Piano Sonatas Nos. 
 12-15" on the Blue Griffin release, have 
 received critical acclaim around the globe. 
 The music publication Textura noted "her 
 impeccable technique and the clarity of expression 
 and articulation." Composer and 
 music critic Steven Kennedy lauded the "great 
 command of dynamic shading" and 
 "precision of the performances." Fanfare 
 magazine praised "each note articulated 
 with absolute clarity" and "beautifully 
 limned with phrasing."\n
