An artist devoted to healing, connection, and revelation through music-making, violinist Yebin Yoo is emerging as one of the most compelling young voices in classical music today.
Her first international breakthrough came at the age of sixteen as the youngest-ever winner of the Gisborne International Music Competition. By eighteen, she had swept all major national competitions in Australia, including the Australian Concerto and Vocal Competition and the National Youth Concerto Competition. Most recently, she was named winner of the New England Conservatory Concerto Competition, performing the Hindemith Violin Concerto with the NEC Philharmonia under the baton of Shiyeon Sung.
As a soloist, Ms. Yoo has appeared with the Korean Symphony S.O.N.G., New England Conservatory Philharmonia, South Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Preston Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Youth Symphony, and Melbourne Youth Orchestra, performing in venues including Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, Jordan Hall, Japan’s Oji Hall, South Korea’s Lotte Concert Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, and Ravinia Festival’s Bennett Gordon Hall.
A devoted chamber musician, Ms. Yoo has been invited to the Marlboro Music Festival for the 2024–2026 seasons and was selected for Marlboro On Tour in 2027. Her recent chamber music engagements include the Copland House Ensemble and Mystic Chamber Series, as well as appearances with A Far Cry and Delirium Musicum. She has also performed at the Ravinia Steans Music Institute, ICEP Japan Tour with Midori, Heifetz on Tour, Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival, and Kronberg Academy Masterclasses.
Yebin Yoo is currently pursuing her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the CUNY Graduate Center under Mark Steinberg, and completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at New England Conservatory under the guidance of Miriam Fried.
