Seungwon Chung, cellist, was a winner of several prizes and competitions in her native Seoul at a

very young age. She was awarded a scholarship to study at Seoul National University from which

she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2009. Thereafter she studied at the New England

Conservatory of Music on a scholarship and obtained a Master of Music degree in 2013 under the

tutelage of the distinguished cellist, Laurence Lesser.

Her outstanding musical ability earned her a full scholarship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-

Champaign in 2013 where she is working on her Doctor of Music Arts degree with Dmitri Kouzov.

She has the honor of being selected to play the Brahms Sextet with the Jupiter String Quartet in

September 2014.

“Seungwon is the most accomplished cellist I have known since my time as a professor at the

University of Illinois. She plays with unsurpassed technical command and poetic sense of musical

phrase”.

Daniel McDonough, founding member of the Jupiter String Quartet.
