Hailed by New York Concert Review as “ravishing,” Korean-born American pianist Min Kwon is in demand around the world as a soloist, chamber musician, pedagogue, and administrator. A graduate from the Curtis Institute of Music (BM), the Juilliard School (MM & DMA), and the Mozarteum in Salzburg (post-doc), her professional engagements have taken her to over 60 countries on 7 continents, including such venues as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, the United Nations, Orchestra Hall in Chicago, Seoul Arts Center in Korea, and more. She has appeared as a soloist under James Conlon, Alan Gilbert, and Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, with orchestras such as the Philadelphia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Atlanta, Aspen Festival Orchestra, and all major orchestras in Korea in several nationally televised concerts.
A dedicated and sought-after teacher, Kwon has given master classes at major institutions and festivals around the world, including the Royal College of Music in London, Shanghai and Beijing Conservatories in China, National University of Singapore, the Juilliard School, Mannes College of Music, and NYU. She has served as Co‐Director of Vienna ConcertoFest in Austria, and is the first music alumna to have been invited to serve on the Juilliard School Council in New York. Recently, she was the Resident Fellow at the prestigious American Academy in Rome.
Dr. Kwon is currently Professor of Music at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. In 2010, she founded the Center for Musical Excellence.
