Korean violinist Dr. Jinyoung Song is celebrated for her technical skill and artistic expression.

Dr. Song is passionate about education and her students have excelled, performing in all-state orchestras and at festivals.

Praised for her artistry and musical sensitivity, pianist Dr. Rachel Yunkyung Choo has enjoyed a vibrant career as a soloist and chamber musician. The New York Sun described her Lincoln Center debut as “perfect,” showcasing her confident playing, while The New York Times noted she “stood out” in a Carnegie Hall performance. A Seoul native, Dr. Choo debuted at the Kumho Arts Hall at age 12 and has since performed at such venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Seoul Arts Center. She holds degrees from The Juilliard School, the Peabody Institute, and Rutgers University, and currently teaches at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.
