Performer bio(s):
Pianist Young Hyun Cho has performed throughout the world, from the Vienna Musikverein to the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall, from the Smetana Hall in Prague to the Solti Hall of the Liszt Academy in Budapest, and at the Seoul Arts Center in her native Korea.
Young Hyun Cho has appeared as a soloist with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, Euro Sinfonietta Wien, Filarmonica della Calabria of Italy, North Czech Philharmonic Teplice, Budapest Symphony Chamber Orchestra M.A.V., Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic, Korean Broadcasting System Symphony Orchestra, Korean Symphony Orchestra, Seoul National Symphony Orchestra, and the Eastman Symphony orchestra. She is an associate professor of piano at Michigan State University College of Music, following her tenure as an associate professor at the University of Texas at Arlington.
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.
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."
