Praised for her “deeply reflective playing” (Indianapolis Star) and “infectious exuberance” (New York Times), Korean-American pianist Jeewon Park has earned international acclaim for her lyrical musicianship, dazzling technique, and broad repertoire. Equally adept in both classical and contemporary works, recent performances include J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Schubert’s late sonatas, and world premieres by Aaron Jay Kernis and Sebastian Currier. Critics have hailed her “radiant timbre,” “warm musicality,” and “impeccable taste and skill.”

Park made her orchestral debut at age 12 with Chopin’s First Concerto and has since appeared with the KBS Orchestra, Mexico City Philharmonic, Charleston Symphony, and Florida Orchestra. She has performed in major venues across North America, Europe, and Asia as both a recitalist and chamber musician.

This season marks Park’s 12th year as co-artistic director of the Performing Artists in Residence series at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA, alongside her husband, cellist Edward Arron. A founding member of the Palladium Chamber Players, she has appeared at leading chamber festivals and series, including Caramoor, Bargemusic, Spoleto USA, the 92nd Street Y, and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

International highlights include performances at the Seoul Spring Festival, Great Mountains Music Festival (Korea), Emilia-Romagna Festival (Italy), and Kusatsu Music Festival (Japan). In 2022, she led the Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra chamber series in Korea and has premiered works by David Ludwig, Lisa Bielawa, and Paul Moravec.

Her discography includes Beethoven: Complete Works for Cello and Piano (Aeolian Classics), recorded with Edward Arron. She is a recipient of the Samuel Sanders Collaborative Artists Award and has appeared on NPR and WQXR. Park holds degrees from Yonsei University, Juilliard, Yale (Dean’s Prize), and a doctorate from Stony Brook. She lives in Amherst, MA with her family and their Labrador retriever.
