Cho Yurim
Violinist
Introduction
Hello, I am violinist Cho Yu-rim. Since founding an ensemble team in 2000, I have led 26 regular concerts with the support of the Daejeon Cultural Foundation. I actively perform in various ensemble concerts, including curated performances at the Daejeon Arts Center and the Daejeon Museum of Art.
Reflections on My Work
While I always prepare with my utmost effort, there are days when the performance doesn't fully meet my expectations due to the venue's conditions or my physical state on that day. Conversely, there are beautiful moments when the warm response from the audience and the acoustics elevate the performance into something far more moving than imagined. I truly believe that music is an art of creating a singular, fleeting moment. Embracing all of these variables as an inherent part of that day's performance, I reflect on areas for slight improvement, but above all, I always remain deeply grateful.
Interview
Q. What are some of your most memorable places and experiences in nature in Korea?
Aside from music, my greatest passion is mountaineering, so I spend my free time exploring mountains across different regions. I have always prided myself on my physical strength and endurance, and I had never given up on reaching a summit. However, during a severe blizzard at Hangye-ryeong Pass in Seoraksan Mountain, I was forced to turn back. It was a humbling moment that made me realize how small and insignificant I am compared to the vastness of nature.
Another profound experience was hiking through a mountain in Gangwon Province a few years after a major wildfire. Seeing new, green sprouts breaking through the charred, burnt trees was an incredibly moving sight that touched my heart deeply.
Q. What does nature mean to you?
There was a time in my life when even the smallest things would deeply agitate my emotions, and hiking became a sanctuary that helped me regain both physical and emotional health. When I push through the physical challenge toward the summit, completely focusing on each step forward, my tangled emotions often clarify and settle. In many ways, the mountains serve as a wonderful teacher in my life.
Q. What do you hope people feel when they listen to your performance?
I have been performing in a hospice ward for over ten years. Every single time I play there, I perform with the awareness that this could be the final musical experience in someone's life. These moments often bring a sense of solemnity and deep humility to my own heart. Even if it is not for a vast crowd, I sincerely hope that my performance can offer true comfort and solace to someone who needs it.
