JINJOO CHO, VIOLIN
Violinist Jinjoo Cho won the First Grand Prize and the People’s

She has appeared as a soloist with the Cleveland Orchestra, the
Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, the
Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, the Kalamazoo Symphony, CityMusic
Cleveland, and the Aspen Concert Orchestra. She has worked with
world renowned artists such as Robert McDuffie, Peter Oundjian,
Muhai Tang, and Kent Nagano. Ms. Cho appeared on a national radio
broadcast of From the Top in a program later designated best of
the year. Ms. Cho has given recitals in Seoul, Cleveland, Montreal,
and New York, and she served as a musician-in-residence at the Kentucky
Center for Performing Arts. Ms. Cho made her European debut in the
Herkulessaal in Munich last season.
During the 2007-2008 seasons, Ms. Cho had performed in subscription
concerts with the Quebec Symphony, the Winnipeg Symphony, I Musici
de Montréal, and CityMusic Cleveland.
Ms. Cho, a dedicated orchestral and chamber musician, was a member
of the Wo¡-Mén String Quartet. The group was coached by Peter Salaff,
Donald Weilerstein, Arnold Steinhardt and the Cavani, Pacifica,
and Takács String Quartets. Her duo with cellist Joshua Roman regularly
performs in Cleveland, Seattle, and Spokane.
Ms. Cho, a native of Seoul, South Korea, attended the Yewon Art
School. She has been attending the Aspen Music Festival and School
and was a member of the Young Artist Program at the Cleveland Institute
of Music from 2002 onward, in both venues as a student of Paul Kantor.
She attended the Curtis Institute of Music, studying there with
Joseph Silverstein and Pamela Frank, and is currently enrolled at
the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she is working as a student
of Paul Kantor.
LOUISE-ANDRÉE BARIL, PIANO
A native of Cornwall, pianist Louise-Andrée Baril is one of Canada’s
most accomplished musicians. An arranger, soloist, chamber musician,
vocal coach, and rehearsal pianist, she has collaborated with major
ensembles and conductors in Canada and abroad. She is regularly
invited to collaborate in major international competitions. She
appears on over forty recordings and is regularly heard on Radio-Canada’s
airwaves. Passionate about opera, her repertoire includes over one
hundred operatic works. She is especially dedicated to French vocal
music.
Louise-Andrée takes a great interest in emerging artists and has
established several opera workshops and projects for young artists,
such as the Université de Montréal’s opera workshop and the Orford
Arts Centre opera. A much sought-after teacher, she works with several
music institutions in Quebec, Ontario, and the United States. Since
2007, Louise-Andrée Baril has been an artistic advisor at Jeunesses
Musicales of Canada, for the movement’s opera productions in particular.
Since 1949, Jeunesses Musicales of Canada has had a dual mission:
to bring fine music to audiences of all ages, especially 3 to 12-year-olds,
and to foster the careers of outstanding young professional instrumentalists,
singers and composers in Canada and abroad. Thanks to the support
of its partners and the work of hundreds of volunteers, Jeunesses
Musicales of Canada has become Canada’s largest classical music
performance network and produces some 800 concerts a year. In 2000,
the organization opened a new building in Montreal that includes
a 100-seat chamber music hall.
JMC is affiliated with Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI),
founded in 1945 in Belgium and considered today by UNESCO as the
world’s leading cultural organization dedicated to youth and music.
Each year, Jeunesses Musicales International’s 41 national chapters
organize more than 30,000 musical events, reaching an audience of
some six million people.
This tour is made possible thanks to the financial support of the
Mouvement des caisses Desjardins, the Conseil des arts et des lettres
du Québec, The Canada Council for the Arts, Canadian Heritage, the
Conseil des arts de Montréal The Ontario Arts Council, and The Toronto
Arts.
