Violinist Jennifer Choi is known for breaking traditional boundaries, blending solo, chamber, and improvisational artistry. Described by The New York Times as “soulful” and “compelling,” and by Time Out New York as “adventurous,” she made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2000 and has since performed worldwide—from the Library of Congress to RAI National Radio in Rome. She has soloed with ensembles such as the Oregon Symphony and Vancouver Symphony, and performed with renowned groups including ETHEL, the Miro Quartet, Ensemble San Francisco, and Either/Or Ensemble. Her versatile programming spans from classical staples to cutting-edge works, with performances at Lincoln Center, MOMA, Ravinia, and festivals across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Jennifer’s fearless embrace of experimental jazz, creative improv, and avant-garde music has led to collaborations with leading composers like John Zorn, Susie Ibarra, and Lou Harrison. She’s premiered major works including Zorn’s Partita and Wadada Leo Smith’s Afrikana 2, and frequently appears with genre-crossing artists such as Kathleen Supové, Les Frères Méduses, and Fred Sherry. An avid educator, she has reached over 1,000 students through programs with the NY Philharmonic, Juilliard, and 92NY, and led residencies at Oberlin and Shanghai Conservatory. She records for labels like TZADIK and New Focus Records, and plays the 1718 “Firebird” Stradivarius, generously on loan from Finrebel.
