Concert Review: "Goddess plays the flute" by Augsburger Allgemeine, Germany A fantastic review from Jasmine's Ibert Concerto concert:

"Erstmals in Ingolstadt war die von der Zeitung Korea Times als „Göttin der Flöte“ hochgelobte Jasmine Choi an der Donau zu erleben. Sie ist eine der meist gefeierten Flötistinnen unserer Zeit. Die Solistin der Wiener Symphoniker, mittlerweile mit weltweit bedeutenden Auszeichnungen bedacht, intonierte an diesem Abend mit dem von Jacques Ibert verfassten Konzert für Flöte und Orchester wohl eines der anspruchsvollsten Solowerke überhaupt. Technisch höchst anspruchsvoll Dabei zeigte die junge talentierte Musikerin ihre musikalische Prägnanz, imponierte durch glänzende Intonation und Artikulation und gab sich in den technisch höchst anspruchsvollen Phrasen meisterhaft. Auch wenn sich das Publikum sicherlich ein weniger sperrig klingendes Werk gewünscht hätte, so war die melodische Linienführung der 14 K-Gold-Flöte dieser Ausnahmemusikerin im besten Sinne kompatibel mit den nicht weniger idiomatischen Streicherstimmen und der ebenso anspruchsvollen Harmoniebegleitung. ...

Mozart CD Review by The Falter, Austria "Die Wiener Symphoniker ließen die Flötistin Jasmine Choi im Sommer ziehen und verlängerten ihren Vertrag nach dem obligaten Probejahr nicht. Die makellos klingende Antwort: Gemeinsam mit den Stimmführern des Orchesters nahm die Koreanerin nun die vier Flötenquartette von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart auf. Feine, höchst unterhaltsame Musik träumerisch, keck, reizvoll verspielt , in der Mozart die Flöte ins schönste kammermusikalische Rampenlicht rückt."

March 29, 2013

A Rave Review of Brahms' 4th Symphony "Orchestral soloists were excellent – including the new principal flutist. Luisi’s phrasing was intimate and deeply personal in the slow movement, and the audience barely moved. The Scherzo, in contrast, was brilliant and red-blooded. In the finale, Choi phrased the famous flute solo with exquisite beauty, projecting a tone of almost vocal color on her golden flute." from Cincinnati Enquirer

Jasmine Choi is one of the most celebrated flutists of our generation. She has been critically acclaimed on international stages for her rich tone, technical brilliance, superb musicianship, and for her charismatic stage presence since an early age. After having served as principal flute of the Vienna Symphony and associate principal flute of the Cincinnati Symphony, Choi has now moved on to a career as a full-time soloist.

She is a flutist for whom it can be said that the descriptor “first” is uncommonly apt. Ms. Choi was the first Korean woodwind player to be hired by a major symphony orchestra in the United States, the first Korean musician to join the Vienna Symphony in the orchestra’s storied 113- year history, the first classical musician to attempt the official Pops Recital tour in Korea, and the first Korean featured as a cover story in Flute Talk magazine USA. She has been praised by the Korea Times as “The Goddess of the Flute.”

Nominated by Symphony magazine as one of "America's Emerging Artists," Jasmine Choi was presented on the "Rising Stars" series in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall and at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. Performance highlights include solo recitals at Wigmore Hall in London, Konzerthaus Schubert Saal in Vienna, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, Seoul Arts Center in Seoul, and she has appeared as a soloist in the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna, Konzerthaus Mozart Saal in Vienna, Dvorak and Smetana Halls in Prague, and Disney Hall in Los Angeles.

She has performed as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony, Juilliard Symphony, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Salzburg Mozarteum, Czech Philharmonic Chamber, Seoul Philharmonic, among many others. Choi was invited as soloist for the National Flute Association (NFA)’s 40th anniversary in Las Vegas, and was highly celebrated with her solo performances including the opening gala concert and the closing ceremony, as well as a solo recital, and she also served as a jury member of their Young Artist Competition.

Born in Seoul and raised in Daejon, South Korea, Jasmine Choi is from a musical family and began her musical studies on the violin and piano at an early age. She began playing the flute at the age of nine, and one year later gave her first public performance with the Chongju Chamber Orchestra in Haydn's Concerto in D Major. Her professional solo career in Korea began at the age of fourteen, and she has been appearing as soloist in Korea several times each year. Her live performances and recordings are frequently broadcast in Korea on national television and radio.

At 16, Jasmine Choi came to the United States when she was accepted to study at the Curtis Institute of Music on a full scholarship. The legendary New York Philharmonic principal Julius Baker called her "a huge sensation," and she studied with him for four years until his death in 2003. Jasmine Choi holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the Curtis Institute of Music and a Master of Music degree from the Juilliard School where she studied with Philadelphia Orchestra principal Jeffrey Khaner. Later she had further studies with Thomas Robertello. Choi was the winner of the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Greenfield Competition, Yamaha Young Performing Artists, Astral Artists, and the Concerto Competition at Juilliard School, which subsequently made her the soloist for the season opening concert of the school’s 100th anniversary celebration under the conductor James DePriest.

Adventurous in expanding the repertoire for flute, Jasmine Choi performs her own arrangements of the violin concertos of Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, the Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, as well as numerous other violin and cello sonatas. Her arrangements of the Bach’s Double Concerto for two violins and the Monti’s Czardas have been published by the Falls House Press USA.

Also active on the contemporary classical music scene, her commissions include works by Korean- American composers Solbong Kim and James Ra, and she frequently performs the works of Isang Yun. More recently, the well-known flutist and composer Gary Schocker dedicated a piece to her called, “Winter Jasmine”, in celebration of Choi’s new 14K gold flute, handmade by David Straubinger.

As a recording artist, Choi has recorded four solo CDs with Sony Classical, including the Mozart Flute Concertos, Fantasy: Virtuosic Flute Works, Claude Bolling Suite for Flute and Jazz Trio, and her latest recording of the Mozart Flute Quartets, released in October 2013, played with the principal strings of the Vienna Symphony. In June of 2014, she will record her fifth CD, a very personal interpretation of the twelve fantasies of Telemann.

Despite the incredible success in her career, Choi has experienced low points in her life several times. She was only 12 years old when she bravely left her family in order to study music in Seoul, suffering through severe stomach disorders driven by extreme homesickness and practicing day and night without taking time to eat. Then off to the United States when 16, where she lived by herself while enrolled at Curtis Institute of Music. Choi was only 18 when she suffered from a serious depression when she was diagnosed by several doctors who thought that she would not be able to play the flute any longer because of a nerve- related issue on her right hand. She was neither able to hold the flute nor such light things as a pencil for 6 months. Choi now speaks of the incidents as having in the end made her stronger, more grateful to play the flute. Jasmine feels her music has become enriched in depth, and it is a miracle to be able to play the flute again.

Jasmine Choi is one of the musicians who believe in the genre called “music,” rather than making any greater distinctions of category. She also enjoys playing jazz, pop, movie tunes, and Broadway as well as the classics, and she is quick in communicating with fans around the globe through Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. She may also be the first flutist to reach 1.5 million hits on YouTube.

Seeking to use music as a conduit to both console and inspire her listeners, and to break down the traditional distinctions of genre and audience, Choi enjoys sharing her life and thoughts and communicates directly with fans.

Jasmine Choi is represented for Europe by Cadenza Concert International Artist Management of Salzburg and for the rest of the world by Chesapeake International Artists.

Many of us remember Rampal’s iconic recording of the Bolling Suite.

Throughout the work, Ms Choi played with a great deal of physical energy and determination, fitting well into the majestic phrases." Nancy Plum
