Jinhee Park is a pianist and conductor whose artistry is shaped by years of work across vocal, instrumental, and orchestral repertoire. Known for her sensitivity, versatility, and deep musical insight, she became a sought-after collaborative pianist, a foundation that continues to inform her broader musical work.
As a vocal collaborative pianist, Jinhee has received international acclaim through her long-standing partnership with soprano Meredith Wohlgemuth. Together, they won first prizes at the Schubert International LiedDuo Competition in Dortmund (2023) and the Concours International Musical de Montréal (Art Song Division, 2022), where Jinhee received each competition’s Best Pianist Award. Her recent performances have taken her to Petit Palau in Barcelona, SchubertFest Dortmund, the Schumann-Haus in Zwickau, and Carnegie Hall.
As a chamber musician, she has appeared at major venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Caramoor Music Festival, and the New York Chamber Players’ chamber series. She collaborates frequently with internationally celebrated artists such as Stella Chen, Dmytro Udovychenko, Stephen Kim, and Timothy Chooi. In 2023, she also served as an official pianist for the Concours International Musical de Montréal.
Her work in opera has been central to her artistic development. From 2018 to 2024, Jinhee served as a vocal coach at the Chautauqua Institution Opera Conservatory, working closely with legendary pedagogue Marlena Malas and contributing to productions of Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, I Capuleti e i Montecchi, and L’enfant et les sortilèges. Her passion for developing young singers also extends to her work at the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music.
Building on this rich foundation as a pianist and collaborator, Jinhee expanded into conducting with a natural fluency shaped by years in rehearsal rooms and on recital stages. She made her conducting debut in 2023 with Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges at Chautauqua, and has since worked with the Lüneburg Symphoniker, Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island, OAcademy Festival Orchestra, NOI Festival Orchestra and Ensemble, Wintergreen Festival Ensemble, and Camerata Notturna, while continuing her involvement in opera productions at the Manhattan School of Music.
She has collaborated on additional orchestral and operatic projects at institutions such as the Juilliard School and the Chautauqua Opera Conservatory. She completed the Carlos Miguel Prieto Conducting Fellowship in 2025, an experience that refined her artistic approach and broadened her musical perspective.
A dedicated educator, Jinhee serves on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music (Vocal Arts). From 2019 to 2024, she worked at the Perlman Music Program, collaborating closely with young cellists, and she continues to work with violinists at the Juilliard School, supporting their musical and artistic development.
Jinhee received her Bachelor’s degree in piano performance from Seoul National University. She then completed her Master’s degree in collaborative piano at The Juilliard School, followed by an Artist Diploma at the Manhattan School of Music, where she studied with esteemed mentors including Jonathan Feldman, Warren Jones, Margo Garrett, and Lydia Brown. In 2025, she earned her Doctorate in collaborative piano from The Juilliard School.
Originally from South Korea, she moved to the United States in 2015 and now calls New York City home.
