Annie Hyung

Korean-American cellist Annie SeEun Hyung deeply treasures the intimate connections fostered by music. Despite a late introduction to the cello, her most vivid life memories are closely intertwined with music, through both music-making and listening. Annie is particularly fascinated by the personal nature of the small ensemble, and an ever-growing desire to experience and learn through collaboration has led her to chamber music festivals including Kronberg Academy’s Chamber Music Connects the World, Yellowbarn, IMS Prussia Cove, the Perlman Music Program, and the Taos School of Music. She has been fortunate to share performances alongside mentors such as Steven Isserlis, Christian Tetzlaff, Donald Weilerstein, and Tabea Zimmerman. Annie serves as the cellist of Trio Eris, NEC’s Professional Trio in Residence beginning fall of 2024. Annie was previously a Semifinalist of the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and a scholarship recipient of the Farwell Trust and Young Musicians Foundation. She recently appeared with the Boston-based chamber orchestra A Far Cry, and looks forward to appearances in the upcoming season with Boston Chamber Music Society as well as the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series in Chicago. As the first prize winner of the Tecchler-Forster Cello Competition, Annie performs on a cello made by David Tecchler. A graduate of Northwestern University, Annie previously studied with Hans Jorgen Jensen, Michel Strauss, and Sarah Koo Freeman, and is currently pursuing an MM at the New England Conservatory under the guidance of Laurence Lesser as a recipient of the Dean’s Scholarship.
