Let me invite you to live in the moment with music.

Haijin Choi is a section violinist for the Grand Rapids Symphony and a faculty member at Calvin University. Originally from South Korea, she moved to the United States in 2000 to continue her post graduate program at Northwestern University, IL after finishing her BM and MM in Seoul National University. Inspired by her teacher and mentor Blair Milton, she continued her interest in orchestral experience by participating in National Repertoire Orchestra and Civic Orchestra of Chicago, working with Daniel Barenboim, David Robertson, Bill Eddins and Pinchas Zukerman. While playing with Charleston Symphony, SC in 2002 - 2003, she performed a recital for Piccolo Spoleto Festival. She has been a member of Grand Rapids Symphony since 2003. Besides performing recitals, she enjoys opportunities to help young violinists grow through one-on-one lessons. Haijin also plays chamber music in intimate environments including the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck, the Sunday Classical Concert Series at Grand Rapids Art Museum, and for private house concerts on request. She is married with one boy and she loves playing tag with him.
