Dr. Jee Yeoun Ko - Letter from the Porch

Dr. Jee-Yeoun Ko is a Korean native cellist, educator, and concert organizer. Her education and careers in Asia, Europe, and the United States have developed a wide interest in the many musical styles such as tango, pop, Asian folk tunes, and jazz, along with classical music. Artists she has collaborated with include Marta Casals, Aldo Parisot, Ellis Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, Phil Wood, and the Faubourg Quartet (of which she is the founder and leader). She was featured at an event in honor of Dalai Lama and congressman John Lewis, and performed a selection of Korean folk tunes. Dr. Ko is known for producing big-hearted benefit concerts such as: “Dr. Ko’s Coats-for-Kids Concert,” disaster relief concerts, and many other fundraising events to support education and communities in New Orleans where she currently resides.
