“As a first generation Korean American artist, I know the importance of education for a shot at a prosperous career in the arts. Music is an integral part of that by fostering both the right and left brain simultaneously. My mother is a trained concert pianist and Korean folk art painter. She exuberantly encouraged the study of classical music in our home and I believe we benefitted greatly. From a young age my siblings and I all learned piano, and I had the opportunity to learn violin flute and cello. It brings me so much joy knowing that the DSO Fashion Notes event benefits Young Strings to bring instruments and lessons into deserving households. Serving as this years co-chair is deeply meaningful to me and I am committed to doing my very best to help even the playing field for musically inclined youth in Dallas.”
