JASMINE CHOI FLUTE
Flutist Jasmine Choi, a native of Korea, is an active soloist, chamber musician, and full-time orchestral musician.
She has been critically acclaimed on international stages for her rich tone, technical brilliance, superb musicianship,
and charismatic stage presence. At the age of 22, she was appointed Associate Principal Flute of the Cincinnati Symphony
under the music director Paavo Jarvi and became the first Korean woodwind player to hold a post with a major orchestra in
the United States.
She has toured with the orchestra to Europe and Japan, as well as major cities in the U.S. Recent performances include solo
recitals at Wigmore Hall in London, Konzerthaus Schubert Saal in Vienna, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, and Kumho
Art Hall in Seoul. She has also performed as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony, St. Petersburg
Philharmonic, Salzburg Mozarteum, Czech Philharmonic, Seoul Philharmonic, and KBS Symphony, among many others.
Selected as one of the ten best flutists in the history of music by Sinfini Magazine UK in 2015, along with Marcel Moyse,
Jean-Pierre Rampal, Julius Baker, James Galway and Emmanuel Pahud, Ms. Choi is a full-time soloist giving almost 100 concerts each season.
Before her full-time career as a soloist has begun, Ms.Choi was the first Korean musician to hold a post in Vienna Symphony Orchestra when
she joined as principal flute under Fabio Luisi, as well as the first Korean woodwind musician in the US when she joined Cincinnati Symphony under Paavo Jarvi.
She is the 2018 Artist-In-Residence at Sejong Arts Center in Seoul, the oldest classical concert hall in South Korea, giving four different
recital programs throughout the year. In addition, the New York Classical Players has recently announced Ms.Choi as their Artist-In-Residence
