About Jennifer Koh

Jennifer Koh is one of those fearless violinists unafraid to take on the daunting challenge of performing the six J.S. Bach sonatas and partitas on the same recital program or difficult, not necessarily audience-friendly, contemporary works like the Saariaho Graal Theatre violin concerto. Yet her risk-taking usually elicits cheers and ovations from audiences and glowing reviews from critics. Koh performs a fairly equal number of concerts as a soloist, chamber player, and recitalist, and, not surprisingly, in a broad and eclectic range of repertory. Among her first recordings was a 1997 release of the Violin Concerto by Uuno Klami. The third and final album of Koh's Bach and Beyond project was issued in 2020, and a box set containing all three volumes was released the following year. In 2022, Koh issued the album Alone Together, highlighting compositions written for her online fundraising effort to help composers struggling during the Coronavirus lockdown.
