Chee-Yun - Special Moments - Sibelius Violin Concerto

This video clip of Chee-Yun is from the dress rehearsal with the Symphony of Southeast Texas, Christopher Zimmerman, Conductor, for a concert on September 17, 2005 at the Julie Rogers Theatre in Beaumont, Texas.

Chee-Yun's first public performance at age 8 took place in her native Seoul after she won the Grand Prize of the Korean Times Competition. At 13, she came to the United States and was invited to perform the Vieuxtemps Concerto No. 5 in a Young People's Concert with the New York Philharmonic. Two years later, she appeared as soloist with the New York String Orchestra under Alexander Schneider at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In Korea, Chee-Yun studied with Nam Yun Kim. In the United States, she has worked with Dorothy DeLay, Hyo Kang, Daniel Phillips and Felix Galimir (chamber music) at The Juilliard School.

In addition to her active performance and recording schedule, Chee-Yun is a dedicated and enthusiastic educator. She gives master classes around the world and has held several teaching posts at notable music schools and universities. Her past faculty positions have included serving as the resident Starling Soloist and Adjunct Professor of Violin at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and Visiting Professor of Music (Violin) at Indiana University School of Music. In August 2007, she was appointed Artist-in-Residence and Professor of Violin at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Chee-Yun plays the Stradivarius "Ex-Strauss" (Cremona, 1708), which is on loan to her from Samsung.

Saw and met her along with my daughter in a recital last year. She IMHO hands down has the BEST tone of any violinist I have heard and I've had the opportunity to hear quite a few great ones. I adore her playing. I think one of the the Violin worlds best kept secrets. She has a great career, but I think deserves more recognition for her unbelievable talent. She has ability to make one weep when she plays.

Saw her perform Dvorak's violin concerto two nights ago. Incredible! She is able to draw a variety of beautiful tone colors from either of those two violins she usually plays that no one else could.Besides being one of the finest violinists active today, and I know how hard this must be to believe if you've never met her, she is even more beautiful than she appears in her video performances. Also she is warm, accessible and, as you would expect, highly intelligent. A complete person. Greg Gibbs
