Violin

Hannah Cho

First season with the SO: 2009-2010

Hometown: I was born in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada and I moved to South Korea with my family when I was little.

Degrees / Colleges: I completed my undergraduate degree at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, and earned an Advanced Performance Certificate from the University of Toronto.

Age you began playing an instrument: I started Suzuki Method at the age of four. My mom heard that the Suzuki Method would really benefit me as a child and took me in - I was told to bring a violin.

Award / Musical Accomplishment you are most proud of: Joining the New World Symphony gave me a lot of opportunities to play with great musicians and conductors.

Style and make of your instrument: Unfortunately, the history behind my violin is unknown – apparently, a tag was switched by a seller in the past. It is thought to be a late17th century instrument of French or Italian origin.

Hobbies / interests: I enjoy watching Korean TV shows online, cooking delicious Korean food for my husband, Gavin, and playing with my cats, Moe and Larry.
