Jihyeon Berman
Jihyeon Berman is an active cellist, soloist and chamber musician who began studying cello at eleven years old. Jihyeon was trained as a classical cellist at Sunhwa Art School and Sunhwa art high school, before making her first debut at age fifteen at Kumho Art Hall in Seoul, Korea. She won many major intenational music competitions such as: the Korea-Germany Brahms Competition, the Korea-USA International Competition, and the Mozart International Competition. Jihyeon came to New York in 2009 to study with Fred Sherry at the Mannes School of Music, where she received the Merit Based Scholarship for both her Bachelors and Masters of Music, as well as graduating with honors. Fred Sherry and Jeffery Zeigler taught her cello. She studied chamber music with Carl Schachter, Victor Rosenbaum, Edna Michell, Hiroko Yajima, Daniel Phillips and Todd Phillips of the Orion String Quartet.
With her passion of teaching music, Jihyeon started teaching cello lessons in New York City in 2009 and teaching in her New Jersey studio from 2017. Jihyeon began hosting an annual student concert in Manhattan from 2011 to give her students formal stage experience.
