”Fresh, different and exhilarating”

-San Francisco Chronicle

"Park took up the baton in an intensely wrought and burnished performance of the violin sonata. Fleming noted earlier it “brims with optimism and youthful love.” Park captured its rhythmic contrasts and emotional crests and falls with all technical muscles flexed.”

-Strings Magazine

“…has a lot to offer, emotions, only a few musicians are able to transmit energy of love in music.”

“…wonderful musical soul.”

-Maxim Vengerov
