Yoon Kwon - Violin

Violinist Yoon Kwon began her professional career as a thirteen-year-old, the youngest winner in the history of the New Jersey Symphony Young Artists Auditions joining the roster of IMG Artists, alongside such artists as Itzhak Perlman and Joshua Bell.

She made her New York debut at age 17 at Avery Fisher Hall, performing the Stravinsky Violin Concerto and became the first Korean artist to record for the RCA/BMG Red Seal label. She has since concertized extensively as soloist with major orchestras such as the Cologne and Warsaw Philharmonics, the California, Cincinnati, Colorado, El Paso, Houston, Honolulu, New Jersey, New Mexico, St. Louis, Wichita, and Vancouver symphonies. A member of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center II from 2006 to 2009, she has performed as chamber musician at festivals in Switzerland, Italy, Finland, and, in the United States, at Aspen, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Marlboro, and La Jolla, and have performed in recital in over 100 cities.

Today, Yoon Kwon is a seasoned artist with a remarkable and excitingly versatile career. In addition to her solo appearances, she is currently a first violinist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and lead electronic violinist of her electro/rock band, Vintage Fire.
