Acclaimed for her “dramatic, but sorrowful and bittersweet, compelling sound,” by America’s National Public Radio, Korean-American violinist Christi Park is known for her strong brilliant sound and versatility. Specialising in the early 17th century to new contemporary works for historical instruments and voice, she has appeared in some of Europe’s and the USA’s most prestigious venues as both soloist and chamber musician.

As a Premier Young Artist Scholarship holder, Christi graduated from Indiana University, studying under Ik-Hwan Bae and Mauricio Fuks. Subsequently, she complete her Master’s of Music at the Royal Academy of Music, with Pavlo Beznosiuk and Simon Standage, and then an Artist Diploma at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. As both performer and researcher, Christi recently won the 2022 Corton-Hyde Early Music Prize with her trio Les Broderies, the 2021 Jose Herrando International Baroque Violin Competition and the 2021 United States Artists Award. She is currently undertaking her PhD in Musicology as an Aspiring Researcher awarded in Music and Performing Arts at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Her research lies in highlighting the pedagogical aspects of the 18th century, particularly studying one of the greatest violinists and pedagogues of the time, Guiseppe Tartini.
