Jennifer Choi talks to Tarisio

Hailed by Time Out New York as "one of New York's most reliably adventurous performers", violinist Jennifer Choi has charted a career that breaks through the conventional boundaries of solo violin, chamber music, and the art of creative improvisation. Internationally recognized as a performer with "brilliance and command," (The New York Times), "a leading New York new-music violinist that plays it with fiery authority" (Boston Globe), and with "intense, spectacularly virtuosic play" (The Seattle Weekly), Jennifer brings her strong classical background and dedication to whatever work she decides to take on from Bach to Zorn and back. Ms. Choi is regularly sighted in solo performances of rare works that stretch the limits of violin playing often calling for extended techniques, improvisation, and the use of electronics. In 2006 she received a grant from the New York State Music Fund for the premiere and performances of Holding Fast for violin and video written for her by Randall Woolf. She also gave the world premiere of John Zorn's solo violin work, Goetia at the Guggenheim Museum, as well as the U.S. premieres of Jacob ter Veldhuis Capriccio and Helmut Lachenmann's Toccatina. She can be heard on over a dozen albums for TZADIK record label in compositions by new music icons such as John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, Wadada Leo Smith, and the Susie Ibarra Trio, and on her debut solo album, VIOLECTRICA- Works for Solo Violin and Electronics. A prominent chamber musician, Jennifer was former violinist of the Miró String Quartet. With her involvement, the group won Grand Prize at the 1996 Fischoff and Coleman chamber music competitions. Since then, she has performed for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Ravinia Festival, Barge Music, Caramoor Music, and other chamber music series across the United States. She has been also been a member of Fireworks Ensemble and the Sirius String Quartet. Currently, Jennifer is the violinist of Classical Jam, the Either/Or Ensemble, the Susie Ibarra Quartet, Anti-Depressant Duo with Kathleen Supové and the newest member of ETHEL. She has also performed worldwide in venues like the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., Alice Tully Hall in New York City, the RAI National Radio in Rome, the Mozartsalle in Vienna, and gave her debut recital in Carnegie Hall in April 2000 as Winner of the Artists International Competition. As a soloist Ms. Choi has recently performed the Brahms, Bach, Sibelius, and Beethoven concertos among others. During the 2009-2010 season, she served as Concertmaster for Lincoln Center's National touring production of Roger's and Hammerstein's South Pacific. http://www.jenniferchoi.com/
