Violinist Jennifer Choi has charted a career that breaks through the conventional boundaries of solo violin, chamber music, and the art of creative improvisation. Heralded as a performer with “brilliance and command” (New York Times), who has “intense, spectacularly virtuosic play” (Seattle Weekly), and as “a leading New York new-music violinist that plays it with fiery authority” (Boston Globe), Choi has performed worldwide in venues including Library of Congress, Lincoln Center, RAI National Radio in Rome, and Mozartsalle in Vienna. A prominent chamber musician, Choi was violinist of the Miró String Quartet, which won Grand Prize at the 1996 Fischoff and Coleman chamber music competitions. Choi pioneers works that stretch the limits of violin playing – employing extended techniques, improvisation, and electronics – including seminal works by John Zorn, Wadada Leo Smith, Helmut Lachenmann, and others. She can be heard on over a dozen recordings on the Tzadik label performing music by John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, and Wadada Leo Smith, with the Susie Ibarra Trio, and on her debut solo album, Violectrica – Works for Solo Violin and Electronics. Choi earned degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory and the Juilliard School.
