Yaegy Park’s Biography

Violinist Yaegy Park was born in Houston, Texas, and has immediately been recognized as a rising young violinist when she joined the Houston Young Artists as age 4, the foundation’s youngest member in history. She was able to find her passion as she grew up performing within this foundation- to inspire others with her music, no matter what the venue. For years, she performed in local hospitals, nursing homes, and even museums with the HYAC until in 2008, under the mentorship of Kyung Sun Lee, Yaegy was named a Jack Kent Cooke Artist and performed on the NPR show From the Top, her first venture outside of Texas. She then went ahead further and went to Germany in 2009 for her first ever competition and won 3rd place in the Louis Spohr International Competition, and soon after won 1st place in the International Russian Rotary Children’s Music Competition and American Protégé International Competition.
Yaegy then auditioned for the Juilliard Precollege division, and moved to NYC to attend from grades 8 to 12, under the tutelage of Catherine Cho. During these 5 years, Yaegy won top prizes in competitions such as the International Virtuoso Competition, the YWCA New York Music Competition, LISMA International Competition, the NY Chamber Players Competition, the Blount-Slawson Young Artist Competition, and most recently the Stulberg International Competition in May, 2015, which has given her performances with the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo Symphonies. She will also play with the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra in their 2017 season. Yaegy is also an avid chamber musician and won competitions in the chamber division at the KRB NY International Music Competition and the Crescendo International Music Competition. She was recently named a Young Arts Winner of 2015, and was a semifinalist of the Presidential Scholars. Yaegy had her Carnegie debut in June, 2015, with the Foundation of the Revival of Classical Culture, in which she is an avid member. She has been named, in August, 2015, a G.rium Artist, sponsored by SK Checimal, and a Young Artist of the Zonta International Women’s Club, Busan Distrcit. She is currently attending The Juilliard School, under Catherine Cho.
In her spare time, Yaegy loves to learn about philosophy, psychology, and reading classic literature. She has also gone to NYC public schools to speak to younger children about music and the arts, and loves spreading her love for her craft.
