Violin and Viola

About

Violinist Yuri Namkung has been invited as soloist, chamber musician, and teacher throughout Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Panama since 2009. Recently having returned to New York City, she performs with new music groups Talea, Mimesis, NUNC, and Lost Dog Ensembles, and frequently performs with members of the Orchestra of St Luke’s and at the Wellesley Composers Conference.

Born in Seattle, Washington, she made her solo debut at the age of nine with the Northwest Chamber Orchestra and at eleven with the Seattle Symphony. She studied with Dorothy DeLay at Juilliard Pre-College and after making her debut with the Tonhalle-Orchestra Zurich conducted by David Zinman, attended Columbia University and the Juilliard School. While in the Graduate Diploma Program at the New England Conservatory, she met UNESCO and Unicef Artist for Peace jazz pianist Danilo Perez who has kept Yuri close by his side for the past six years, enlisting her to create a Classical Music Program (2010-2014) as part of the Panama Jazz Festival. In June of 2016, Festival de Música Nueva makes its debut in Panama, a festival sponsored by Fundacion Danilo Perez and created and directed by Yuri. In Colombia, she worked extensively with the Filarmonica Joven de Colombia at the invitation and guidance of Matthew Hazelwood, and with Batuta and Universidad de Javeriana.

Yuri has also performed at the Kennedy Center, Jordan Hall, Gardner Museum, Ravinia Festival, Music@Menlo, BargeMusic, National Sawdust, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Weill Hall, Zankel Hall, Frank Gehry’s Biodiversity Museum in Panama with Danilo Perez, and as soloist with Gunther Schuller at the Spokane Bach Festival Orchestra, Dubuque Symphony in Iowa, Greenville Symphony, Wyoming Symphony, and Santa Maria Philharmonic.
