Jiwon Choi

Young Guitar Virtuoso from South Korea
Master of Performance, Alicante Superior Conservatory of Music, Spain

From an early age, she formed a profound connection with music. Beginning piano studies at four, she dedicated nine years to the instrument. At eight, she embraced the gayageum (traditional Korean zither), performing for five years. At twelve, she serendipitously discovered the guitar—the instrument that would become her lifelong passion.

She earned admission to the prestigious SunHwa Arts High School, later advancing to the Korea National University of Arts. Pursuing further excellence, she relocated to Spain to study under Maestro Ignacio Rodes, the renowned international guitar virtuoso at the Alicante Superior Conservatory of Music.

Her artistry has graced solo recitals and festivals across Spain and Korea, garnering critical acclaim for her technical mastery and emotive interpretations.

“A musical polymath—bridging Korean tradition with Spanish guitar virtuosity through her transcendent performances.”
