Ji Young is a scholar, performer, and educator specializing in Western art music from the 18th and 19th centuries. She began her off-the-beaten musical path at age 11 in Santiago, Chile, studying piano with a guitarist who combined folk and classical music. After immigrating to New York, Ji Young continued her piano studies at Manhattan School of Music and then pursued a liberal arts education at Columbia University. As a performer, she now specializes in historical pianos from the 18th and 19th centuries and strives for vivid and sensitive renditions informed by music analysis and performance practice.
Ji Young received a PhD in musicology from Cornell University with a dissertation that explored aspects of embodiment as interpersonal communication in the piano compositions of Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms; it received the Karl Geiringer Scholarship from the American Brahms Society in 2018. As a writer and presenter, her work has been noted for its accessibility and an unusual combination of flair and restraint. An emerging specialist in the Schumann-Brahms circle, she was an invited speaker at various events celebrating Clara Schumann's 2019 bicentennial in Germany and the United States.
Ji Young is currently Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester. She has previously taught at the Australian National University and Indiana University–Bloomington.
