Biography

Haneul Park is a violist who is currently pursuing her Master’s degree at The Juilliard School under the guidance of Misha Amory and Hsin-Yun Huang. Having grown up in South Korea, where competition shaped the rhythm of daily life, Haneul initially defined her artistry through the lens of auditions and competitions. However, her perspective has since shifted; she now understands music not as a pursuit of perfection for others’ expectations, but as a space for sincerity, curiosity, and connection.
A dedicated chamber musician, Haneul has appeared at the Four Seasons Winter Workshop, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, the Perlman Music Program, and IMS Prussia Cove. In the upcoming 2026 season, she will be participating in the Ravinia Festival. Her extensive collaborative experience includes sharing the stage with artists such as Itzhak Perlman, David Chan, Donald Weilerstein, Ida Kavafian, Ani Kavafian, Steven Tenenbom, and Tai Murray, as well as members of the St. Lawrence String Quartet.
Haneul’s interest in collaborative arts often extends beyond traditional settings. She performed works by Valerie Coleman in collaboration with Juilliard’s Dance Division for the Juilliard Convocation and Opening Night, and she frequently engages in community outreach through the non-profit organization Music for Food and local women’s shelters.
Haneul’s solo career is highlighted by third prize at the Cecil Aronowitz International Viola Competition and first prize at the Verão Clássico Music Festival. She has also been recognized through performances in the Concours de Genève, the Primrose International Viola Competition, the ARD International Music Competition, and the Tokyo International Viola Competition.
Haneul began her musical studies in Korea at the Yewon School and the Seoul Arts Center’s Academy for Gifted Young Musicians as a pianist before turning her focus to the viola. She holds degrees from the Curtis Institute of Music and the New England Conservatory, where she studied with Roberto Díaz and Kim Kashkashian.
