Dr. Jiyeon Choi Traverses Time and Space in Her Latest Concert

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, as the audience patiently waited in Old Cabell Hall for the second of the Department of Music’s Chamber Music Series. These concerts highlight faculty and guest musicians playing a wide variety of instruments. This edition starred Dr. Jiyeon Choi, the senior clarinet lecturer at the University and the principal clarinetist at the Charlottesville Symphony. Spanning five pieces and a little over an hour, and also including accompanying performances on piano and violin, Choi’s concert drew from a diverse range of genres and time periods, including both classical and contemporary works. This was intentional on Choi’s part, as she wanted to widen the audience’s perspective on music.
