About SoHyun Ko:

SoHyun Ko is a 17 year-old violinist currently studying with Pinchas Zukerman and Patinka Kopec at the Manhattan School of Music. She began learning the violin at the age of 3. From 2015-2016, SoHyun spent the year as a student at the Korea National Institute for the Gifted in Arts.

In 2014, the Stiftung Mozarteum in Austria invited 8-year-old SoHyun to Salzburg to play on Mozart's original violin at the Mozart Wohnhaus. The Austrian National Television (ORF) then broadcasted her performance throughout Europe for three consecutive days.

At 9 years old, SoHyun met famed violinist Pinchas Zukerman; which would turn out to be an encounter that quickly blossomed into the present day where she continues studying under his direction. In 2016, they performed the Bach concerto for two violins side-by-side in Korea. In 2018, SoHyun was reunited in performance with Zukerman at Cadogan Hall in London where she performed the Mendelssohn violin concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Zukerman himself.

As an attendee of the Heifetz International Music Institute, SoHyun has been awarded full scholarship every year since 2018 when she first attended. Later on in 2019, SoHyun moved to New York City to attend the Manhattan School of Music Precollege.

Prior to SoHyun's US participation in the Adelphi Orchestra's Sixteenth Annual Young Artist Competition, her many accomplishments include first prizes at numerous competitions. Additionally, In 2020, SoHyun was the only Korean to perform in a charity concert "The Call to Unite" which raised money towards COVID-19 relief efforts. The event included 200 celebrities ranging from former U.S. President George W. Bush, broadcaster Oprah Winfrey, musician Quincy Jones, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Recently in 2021, SoHyun was selected to perform for a Korean promotional video hosted by the Korea Tourism Organization.
