Violinist Jinjoo Cho: Barber with BlueWater & writing a book
by Jarrett Hoffman
Following up on her Tchaikovsky Concerto performance four years ago, violinist Jinjoo Cho will make a return appearance with BlueWater Chamber Orchestra on Friday, November 17 at 7:30 pm at Church of the Covenant.
This time, the first prize winner of the 2014 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis will focus on the Concerto of Samuel Barber — part of an all-American program led by Daniel Meyer that will also include Cindy McTee’s Adagio for String Orchestra and Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring: Suite for Full Orchestra. Pay-what-you-wish tickets are available here.
I reached Cho on Zoom after she finished a lesson at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, where she is Assistant Professor of Violin. Our conversation began with the Barber and ended with her book, Would I Shine Someday, published in 2021. It’s a collection of personal essays covering several topics, including the insecurities of a classical musician, racial discrimination she has faced in the West, how her profession was decided by her parents, and how she has to come to fall in love with this career path that some in the industry describe as their destiny.

DESCRIPTION
This performance will feature one of the most beloved violin concertos ever composed. Filled with soaring romantic melodies and splendid grandeur, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is sure to grab your heart and not let go. We are thrilled to feature award-winning soloist Jinjoo Cho.
The Third Symphony of Jean Sibelius opens the concert. In this lesser-known work by the most famous of Finns, a cheerful Allegro and pastoral Andantino precede a brief scherzo, which melts away into a finale filled with noble triumph. The symphony is followed by a piece that it inspired – Rick Robinson’s Essay No. 1 “After Sibelius”. Robinson was a member of the bass section of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for over twenty years, has performed numerous times with the Canton Symphony, and has made a name for himself as an arranger of orchestral works for chamber ensembles. The compositional style of Sibelius and the thematic material of his Third Symphony are heard in a new light in Robinson’s beautifully crafted musical homage.
