Jeewon Park, Korean American pianist, is widely recognized for her expressive depth, artistic versatility, and commanding technique. Acclaimed by The New York Times for her “infectious exuberance” and praised by the Indianapolis Star for her “deeply reflective playing,” she brings a rare combination of poetic lyricism and dazzling virtuosity to her performances. Equally at home in solo, chamber, and contemporary repertoire, she has established herself as a distinguished presence on international stages.
Ms. Park has appeared as soloist with the KBS Symphony Orchestra, Mexico City Philharmonic, Charleston Symphony, Florida Orchestra, and others, and has performed at venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 92nd Street Y, Bargemusic, and Caramoor. She serves as Co-Artistic Director of the Performing Artists in Residence series at the Clark Art Institute and is a founding member of the Palladium Chamber Players.
She has been featured at many of the country’s leading chamber music festivals, including the Seattle Chamber Music Society, Manchester Music Festival, Bowdoin International Music Festival, Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival, Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival, Spoleto USA, Taos School of Music, Maui Classical Music Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Chautauqua Institution, Brooklyn Chamber Music Society, the Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival, and the Pablo Casals Festival. International appearances include the Seoul Spring Festival, Great Mountains Music Festival, Seoul Arts Center (IBK Hall), Emilia-Romagna Festival (Italy), Music Alp (France), and Kusatsu Festival (Japan).
