���� alum and violin faculty member Jinjoo Cho (BM ’11, MM ’13, PS ’15 Kantor/Laredo) made her debut in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium Thursday, June 9, a prize awarded to her for winning the gold medal in the 2014 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis (IVCI). Cho holds a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree and professional studies diploma in music performance from ����, and recently she was appointed to ���� violin faculty for the 2016-17 academic year.

Cho has been a member of the ���� family since coming to the United States in 2002, at which time she earned a spot in ����’s prestigious Young Artist Program at age 14. Cho’s former teacher Jaime Laredo and ���� cello faculty Sharon Robinson, attended the performance.  “We were thrilled to be able to attend Jinjoo’s big night,” says Robinson. Cho performed a program of Tower, C. Schumann, R. Schumann, Taaffe Zwilich, Corigliano and Waxman on a 1683 ‘ex-Gingold’ Stradivarius, on loan to her also as a result of her IVCI win. She was joined by pianist and fellow ���� alum Hyun Soo Kim (MM'11, AD '13, Pontremoli). .
