Eugenia Choe
A Korean-American Jazz pianist and composer, Eugenia Choe is one of the most respected musicians of her generation. Having spent her early childhood in South Korea and her formative years in L.A., Atlanta, Chicago, and New York, Eugenia has been in the unique position of having an intimate connection with different cultures. This has helped her developed her unique style of composition and improvisation.
Before she moved to New York, Eugenia majored in mathematics and classical piano performance at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and worked with William Heiles, a renowned pianist with special emphasis on Bach, Chopin, and Schumann. In New York, Eugenia graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious New School for Jazz, where she studied with legendary jazz musicians such as Reggie Workman, Sam Yahel, Chico Hamilton, and Charles Tolliver. She went on to earn a master's degree in jazz piano at SUNY Purchase, under the tutelage of Kevin Hays, David Hazeltine and John Abercrombie.
