Pianist Hee-Kyung Juhn was described as “subtle, technically brilliant, a top-notch, superb pianist” by New York Concert Review, “sensitive and imaginative” by the American Record Guide. Upon the release of her Bach’s Goldberg Variations recording, Santa Barbara News-Press declared “We have a strong new Goldberg contender in the marvelous Hee-Kyung,” and Gramophone noted, “her acumen for voice-leading lends impressive clarity.”

Hee-Kyung made her orchestra debut at age 16 with Orquesta Sinfónica de la Ciudad de Asunción playing Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto. She has also been featured as a soloist with New York Classical Players, Camerata Miranda, Pine Bluff Orchestra, Central Coast Philharmonia, Mass Brass, and others. She has performed in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie, Paul Hall, and 92 Street Y in New York, Utzon Room in Sydney Opera House, Schumannhaus in Leipzig, Teatro

Municipal in Asunción, and performed extensively in Korea (Sejong Cultural Center, Seoul Arts Center Recital Hall, HoAm Art Hall, Youngsan Art Hall, Kumho Arts Center) and other venues in Belgium, Brazil, Japan, and Portugal. During 2020-22 season, Hee-Kyung toured with violinist Tai Murray, an Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, BBC Artist, and Yale faculty, and performed a violin/piano duo program in New York City, Albany, Pittsburgh, and Boston. This tour started with the streamed concert from the 92nd Street Y in New York City during the pandemic.

Hee-Kyung was born in South Korea, lived her teenage years in Paraguay, South America, and was later trained at Rutgers University, The Juilliard School (MM), University of Michigan, and Indiana University (DM). She received further training at the summer festivals such as Aspen Music Festival, Bowdoin, Yale Summer Piano Institute, International Summer Institute in Brasilia, and Tanglewood Music Center in Boston as a fellow. Her teachers include Leonard Hokanson (a pupil of Artur Schnabel), Arthur Greene, Martin Canin, and collaborative pianists Martin Katz, Marshall Williamson, and Jonathan Feldman. More
