Katie Hyun
A winner of Astral Artists’ 2016 National Auditions, violinist Katie Hyun has been described as “a virtuoso by any measure” (The Berkshire Review). Passionate about incorporating different styles, her recent debut recital with Astral Artists in Philadelphia featured a program that showcased virtuosic works on both the Baroque and modern violins (going back and forth between the two). Festival appearances include Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, Bravo! Vail in Colorado, Tippet Rise Arts Center in Montana, Mostly Mozart in New York, OBX Chamber Music Series in North Carolina, Crescent City Chamber Music Festival in New Orleans, and New York in Chuncheon in South Korea. Katie currently serves as the concertmaster of NOVUS Trinity Wall Street, in addition to solo and chamber performances throughout the States. On Baroque violin, she frequently appears with the Trinity Baroque Orchestra and Seraphic Fire.
Katie is also the founder and director of Quodlibet Ensemble, a collective of string players and creators dedicated to creating musical experiences that engage, entertain, and invite people to invest in their communities. Quodlibet has performed at the Shepherd Music Series in Collinsville, Yale British Arts Center, Drew University in Madison, NJ, Rockefeller University in NYC, and most recently the Baryshnikov Arts Center in NYC. In October 2020, Quodlibet partnered with VOTESart to produce a video performance aimed at raising awareness of voters’ rights which premiered at the Five Boroughs Music Festival.
