Her playing was so musical, sensitive, and full of color. Her deep understanding of each piece emotionally and structurally was very satisfying to both my heart and my mind.

ROBERT SCHUMANN
PIANO MUSIC SERIES
Cho has established a concert series featuring piano works by Robert Schumann in eight different states. Her performances of Schumann's works have been broadcast worldwide on Parma Recordings Live Stage and nationally on WFMT 98.7FM, KOPN Columbia 89.5FM, KUCO Edmond-Oklahoma City, the International Music Foundation YouTube channel, and the Sheldon Concert Hall YouTube channel, among others. Her enthusiasm for Robert Schumann has led her to write an article titled "What Makes Robert Schumann Schumann: Schumann's Creation of Fantasy Borrowed from Literature, Especially E. T. A. Hoffmann's Novel 'The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr'.
This program celebrates the works of Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, two of the most famous siblings of the Romantic era. Though they shared a deep artistic collaboration, Fanny’s works remained unpublished during her lifetime, performed only in private salons, while Felix’s compositions gained public acclaim. This concert highlights her voice alongside his, with her Easter Sonata as the centerpiece, inviting a reevaluation of her role in their shared musical legacy.
Supported by Wheaton College Conservatory of Music, Musicians Club of Women, and Stateline Music Foundation, performances have taken place at Armerding Center for Music and the Arts, Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago (livestreamed), Stateline Music Foundation Concert Series, and Freeport Community Concert Series.
As a passionate chamber musician, Cho has frequently been invited to share the stage with internationally renowned musicians, including David Halen (Concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), Jonathan Ruck (Professor of Cello at the University of Oklahoma), and Arianna String Quartet (Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Missouri-St. Louis) among others.
Cho is a founding member of the American Prize winner Koinonia Piano Trio, a performing and teaching ensemble that has performed in New York, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Alaska and 5 cities in Europe as a part of a tour in Austria, Germany and Italy.
