The parents of Juliette Kang immigrated to Canada from Seoul, Korea, 1968, sojourning in Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver before settling, Edmonton, 1974, one year before Juliette was born. Beginning violin studies at age four, by the time she was nine years old, she was studying with Dr. Jascha Brodsky of the Curtis Institute of Music, from where she graduated, B.Mus., 1991, one of the youngest ever to earn a bachelor’s degree from that famous Institute. At the Juilliard School, from where she gained her Master’s Degree in Music, 1993, Juliette studied under Dorothy Delay, Hyo Kang, and Robert Mann. She came to international attention as Gold Medal Winner in both the Yehudi Menuhin and Indianapolis International Competitions, 1994. An especially accomplished recitalist, Ms. Kang’s invitations include New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, Boston’s Gardner Museum, and New York’s 92nd Street Y. At age 7, she made her concerto debut in Montreal, and when only 13 years, she became the youngest ever to win the Young Concert Artist International Auditions (1989). She was featured, 1994, in New York Times Magazine as one of the people under age 30 “the most likely to change the culture.” Her mastery of the violin assures her a prominent place on the international stage as one of the world’s great talents whose performances, night after night, blend opulent tones, heroic flair, and romantic sensibility with sheer virtuosity and astonishing technical aplomb.
