Devoted to chamber music, Ye-Eun performs at festivals around the world including Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Asiago (Italy), Gdansk (Poland) and Rheingau. She is regularly invited to the ‘Folle journées’ in France and Japan, where she has performed with the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra and Dmitri Liss, the Prazak Quartet and Plamena Mangova, as well as the Lockenhaus and Kronberg festivals, where she has performed with Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet, Lynn Harell and Khatia Buniatishvili.

Ye-Eun Choi was born in 1988, Seoul, South Korea and studied as a junior student at the Korean University of Arts with Nam Yun Kim. In 2004 she moved to Germany to study with Ana Chumachenco at the Musikhochschule in Munich and a year later was brought to the attention of Anne-Sophie Mutter, soon becoming a recipient of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation scholarship and continuing to benefit from professional and personal support from Miss Mutter.
Since her meeting with Maestro Christoph Eschenbach in 2007 she has benefitted greatly from studying regularly with him on a personal basis. In the same year she was selected as one of ‘the Emerging Artists of the Year’ by the American Symphony Orchestra League.
