SEMIFINALIST

Born in South Korea, Yeyeong Jenny Jin began her studies at age 2. At the age of 8, she won the Kumho-Asiana Cultural Foundation Award, resulting in the loan of a fine half-size violin made in 1700, the Carlo Giuseppe Testore, and a solo recital. At age 9, she was admitted to The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and studied with renowned pedagogue Ida Kavafian.

In 2016, Yeyeong became a student of The Perlman Music Program and won top prizes at the 2020 Stulberg International String Competition and the 2022 Zhuhai International Violin Competition. She is currently at The Juilliard School as a proud recipient of the Kovner Fellowship, studying with Itzhak Perlman and Li Lin.
