Meet Min-Hi Choi
My Story
I am a professional violinist committed to creating unforgettable musical experiences for special occasions. With a wealth of experience in performance and music consultation, I guide clients through every step of the process to bring their musical vision to life.
​
My journey with the violin began at the age of eight, inspired by the instrument's beauty and versatility. Initially trained in classical music, I progressed rapidly, performing in recitals and advancing to the top tier under my first teacher’s guidance. Over the years, I have performed with orchestras, chamber ensembles, string quartets, and participated in various community musical productions. My first wedding performance was in the summer of 1991, marking the beginning of my career in event music.
​
In 2002, I broadened my musical horizons while working aboard the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, an environmental education vessel founded by folk singer and activist Pete Seeger. This experience introduced me to fiddling, beginning with the iconic tune "Ashokan Farewell." Since then, I’ve expanded my repertoire to include a wide range of styles, from classical and folk to contemporary and beyond, enhancing my versatility as a violinist.
​
Today, I bring together my rich musical heritage, extensive experience, and refined skills to create exceptional performances for special events. One of my unique strengths is my ability to learn much of my repertoire by ear, allowing me to adapt seamlessly to my clients’ preferences. As one client beautifully expressed:
​
“Experience, quality, and an ability to pick up pretty much any song... she offers more than a playlist – she offers everyone’s playlist.”
