Mi-Young Park (born October 30, 1948, Seoul) is a Korean-American violinist. She soloed with the Seoul Philharmonic and the Korean Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra after winning First Prize in the Korean National Music Competition. For almost fifty years she concertized with her sister, Pong-Hi, in a violin-piano duo known as The Park Sisters.[1][2]
Early life and education[edit]
At age fourteen, Park was accepted by Efrem Zimbalist, director of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia,[3][4]
Career[edit]
Park taught as part of the faculty of the New School of Music in Philadelphia and Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.[5]
At a relatively young age, Park limited the number of her performing engagements due to health issues. In 1986, she purchased a Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu dated 1722 (Cozio 49179[6])[7] that she played until her retirement in 2005.
Park Sisters[edit]
Much of her career was dedicated to performing recitals with her sister, pianist Pong-Hi Park.[8][9] While still in grade school, they began playing recitals together that continued for almost fifty years. They concertized as The Park Sisters,[10] performing a wide range of violin-piano repertoire[11][12] first in South Korea and then in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland.
Personal life[edit]
Park lives with her husband, conductor Marc Mostovoy, in New Jersey.[13]
