Life

Raised in Daejeon, Choi studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Juilliard
School, where her teachers included Julius Baker and Jeffrey Khaner, from 2000 to
2004.[3] As a student in 2002, she was the senior division winner of the Albert M.
Greenfield Student Competition, sponsored by the Philadelphia Orchestra. In 2006,
Symphony Magazine included her as one of two flautists in their list of emerging
artists.[4]
Music career

A recording of her performances of Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp K. 299 and
the Concerto for Flute K. 314 (called Jasmine Choi plays Mozart) was released in
2006 in Korea by Sony BMG.[5] She later held the post of associate principal flute
of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under Paavo Järvi and principal flute of the
Vienna Symphony under Fabio Luisi.[6][7]

Choi served as Principal Flute of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra from May 2012 to
August 2013, the first Korean-born member of the orchestra in its history. With
members of the orchestra, she made a commercial recording of flute quartets by
Mozart.[8]

Choi has transcribed the violin concerti of Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky for flute.
She has also transcribed the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso of Saint-Saens, for
flute.[9] In addition, Choi has commercially recorded works of Claude Bolling in
2012 (Sony Classical) and the 12 Fantasies for Solo Flute by Georg Philipp Telemann
(Austrian Gramophone). Mark Laycock has written a flute concerto for Choi.[3] In
2016, she was named as Cultural Embassador in her hometown Daejon, Korea.[2]
