Jasmine Choi, Flute

“The goddess of flute."- Korea Times

Flutist Jasmine Choi is one of the most celebrated flutists of our time, known for her virtuosity and refined interpretation, as well as her adventurous projects. As a third-generation musician from Korea, she has performed across the globe in a variety of genres from classical solo, chamber, and orchestral to experimental, jazz, and pop.

Jasmine has performed as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Berlin Symphony, and Seoul Philharmonic, as well as at recitals in Paris, Vienna, London, Geneve, New York, Seoul, and Hong Kong. A former principal flute of the Vienna Symphony and associate principal of the Cincinnati Symphony, Jasmine’s performance was featured during the 2018 Winter Olympics’ celebrations in Pyeongchang, Korea.

Jasmine’s infinite curiosity has also led her to make her own arrangements of major works, including the Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, as well as performing new works by living composers. She will be joined on stage by Hugh Sung (piano), Dario Bizio (bass), and Maverick MacMillan (drums).
