Dr. Hyejin Cho enjoys a flourishing performance career as a soloist and chamber musician, with concerts across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Her recent concert appearances include Parma Recordings Live Stage, Dame Myra Hess Concert Series, and Wheaton College Artist Series. Her enthusiasm for Robert Schumann led her to develop the Robert Schumann Concert Series, a project established in seven different states in the U.S., supported by the Missouri Arts Council, Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship, and University of Michigan Research Grant. A passionate chamber musician, Dr. Cho is the founding member of the American Prize-winning Koinonia Piano Trio, which has performed in seven states in the U.S., five cities in Europe, and Osaka in Japan. She has also collaborated with members of the Cleveland Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and Kansas City Symphony, among others.

An enthusiastic educator, Dr. Cho is on the piano faculty at Wheaton College Conservatory of Music, where she teaches piano. Previously, she taught at Oklahoma State University. Passionate about providing high-quality classical music performances and education to diverse audiences, she and pianist Jun-Hee Han created the Lucerna Music Foundation, a non-profit organization.
