February 2, 2014Concert Review: "Goddess plays the flute" by Augsburger Allgemeine, GermanyA fantastic review from Jasmine's Ibert Concerto concert:

"Erstmals in Ingolstadt war die von der Zeitung Korea Times als „Göttin der Flöte“ hochgelobte Jasmine Choi an der Donau zu erleben. Sie ist eine der meist gefeierten Flötistinnen unserer Zeit. Die Solistin der Wiener Symphoniker, mittlerweile mit weltweit bedeutenden Auszeichnungen bedacht, intonierte an diesem Abend mit dem von Jacques Ibert verfassten Konzert für Flöte und Orchester wohl eines der anspruchsvollsten Solowerke überhaupt.
Technisch höchst anspruchsvoll
Dabei zeigte die junge talentierte Musikerin ihre musikalische Prägnanz, imponierte durch glänzende Intonation und Artikulation und gab sich in den technisch höchst anspruchsvollen Phrasen meisterhaft. Auch wenn sich das Publikum sicherlich ein weniger sperrig klingendes Werk gewünscht hätte, so war die melodische Linienführung der 14 K-Gold-Flöte dieser Ausnahmemusikerin im besten Sinne kompatibel mit den nicht weniger idiomatischen Streicherstimmen und der ebenso anspruchsvollen Harmoniebegleitung.

December 14, 2013Mozart CD Review by The Falter, Austria"Die Wiener Symphoniker ließen die Flötistin Jasmine Choi im Sommer ziehen und verlängerten ihren Vertrag nach dem obligaten Probejahr nicht. Die makellos klingende Antwort: Gemeinsam mit den Stimmführern des Orchesters nahm die Koreanerin nun die vier Flötenquartette von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart auf. Feine, höchst unterhaltsame Musik – träumerisch, keck, reizvoll verspielt –, in der Mozart die Flöte ins schönste kammermusikalische Rampenlicht rückt."

March 29, 2013A Rave Review of Brahms' 4th Symphony"Orchestral soloists were excellent – including the new principal flutist. Luisi’s phrasing was intimate and deeply personal in the slow movement, and the audience barely moved. The Scherzo, in contrast, was brilliant and red-blooded. In the finale, Choi phrased the famous flute solo with exquisite beauty, projecting a tone of almost vocal color on her golden flute." from Cincinnati Enquirer

Jasmine Choi is one of the most celebrated flutists of our generation. She has been critically acclaimed on international stages for her rich tone, technical brilliance, superb musicianship, and for her charismatic stage presence since an early age. After having served as principal flute of the Vienna Symphony and associate principal flute of the Cincinnati Symphony, Choi has now moved on to a career as a full-time soloist.

She is a flutist for whom it can be said that the descriptor “first” is uncommonly apt. Ms. Choi was the first Korean woodwind player to be hired by a major symphony orchestra in the United States, the first Korean musician to join the Vienna Symphony in the orchestra’s storied 113-year history, the first classical musician to attempt the official Pops Recital tour in Korea, and the first Korean featured as a cover story in Flute Talk magazine USA. She has been praised by the Korea Times as “The Goddess of the Flute.”

Nominated by Symphony magazine as one of "America's Emerging Artists," Jasmine Choi was presented on the "Rising Stars" series in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall and at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. Performance highlights include solo recitals at Wigmore Hall in London, Konzerthaus Schubert Saal in Vienna, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, Seoul Arts Center in Seoul, and she has appeared as a soloist in the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna, Konzerthaus Mozart Saal in Vienna, Dvorak and Smetana Halls in Prague, and Disney Hall in Los Angeles.

She has performed as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony, Juilliard Symphony, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Salzburg Mozarteum, Czech Philharmonic Chamber, Seoul Philharmonic, among many others. Choi was invited as soloist for the National Flute Association (NFA)’s 40th anniversary in Las Vegas, and was highly celebrated with her solo performances including the opening gala concert and the closing ceremony, as well as a solo recital, and she also served as a jury member of their Young Artist Competition.

Born in Seoul and raised in Daejon, South Korea, Jasmine Choi is from a musical family and began her musical studies on the violin and piano at an early age. She began playing the flute at the age of nine, and one year later gave her first public performance with the Chongju Chamber Orchestra in Haydn's Concerto in D Major. Her professional solo career in Korea began at the age of fourteen, and she has been appearing as soloist in Korea several times each year. Her live performances and recordings are frequently broadcast in Korea on national television and radio.

At 16, Jasmine Choi came to the United States when she was accepted to study at the Curtis Institute of Music on a full scholarship. The legendary New York Philharmonic principal Julius Baker called her "a huge sensation," and she studied with him for four years until his death in 2003. Jasmine Choi holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the Curtis Institute of Music and a Master of Music degree from the Juilliard School where she studied with Philadelphia Orchestra principal Jeffrey Khaner. Later she had further studies with Thomas Robertello. Choi was the winner of the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Greenfield Competition, Yamaha Young Performing Artists, Astral Artists, and the Concerto Competition at Juilliard School, which subsequently made her the soloist for the season opening concert of the school’s 100th anniversary celebration under the conductor James DePriest.

Adventurous in expanding the repertoire for flute, Jasmine Choi performs her own arrangements of the violin concertos of Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, the Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, as well as numerous other violin and cello sonatas. Her arrangements of the Bach’s Double Concerto for two violins and the Monti’s Czardas have been published by the Falls House Press USA.

Also active on the contemporary classical music scene, her commissions include works by Korean-American composers Solbong Kim and James Ra, and she frequently performs the works of Isang Yun. More recently, the well-known flutist and composer Gary Schocker dedicated a piece to her called, “Winter Jasmine”, in celebration of Choi’s new 14K gold flute, handmade by David Straubinger.

As a recording artist, Choi has recorded four solo CDs with Sony Classical, including the Mozart Flute Concertos, Fantasy: Virtuosic Flute Works, Claude Bolling Suite for Flute and Jazz Trio, and her latest recording of the Mozart Flute Quartets, released in October 2013, played with the principal strings of the Vienna Symphony. In June of 2014, she will record her fifth CD, a very personal interpretation of the twelve fantasies of Telemann.

Despite the incredible success in her career, Choi has experienced low points in her life several times. She was only 12 years old when she bravely left her family in order to study music in Seoul, suffering through severe stomach disorders driven by extreme homesickness and practicing day and night without taking time to eat. Then off to the United States when 16, where she lived by herself while enrolled at Curtis Institute of Music. Choi was only 18 when she suffered from a serious depression when she was diagnosed by several doctors who thought that she would not be able to play the flute any longer because of a nerve-related issue on her right hand. She was neither able to hold the flute nor such light things as a pencil for 6 months. Choi now speaks of the incidents as having in the end made her stronger, more grateful to play the flute. Jasmine feels her music has become enriched in depth, and it is a miracle to be able to play the flute again.

Jasmine Choi is one of the musicians who believe in the genre called “music,” rather than making any greater distinctions of category. She also enjoys playing jazz, pop, movie tunes, and Broadway as well as the classics, and she is quick in communicating with fans around the globe through Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. She may also be the first flutist to reach 1.5 million hits on YouTube.

Seeking to use music as a conduit to both console and inspire her listeners, and to break down the traditional distinctions of genre and audience, Choi enjoys sharing her life and thoughts and communicates directly with fans.

Jasmine Choi is represented for Europe by Cadenza Concert International Artist Management of Salzburg and for the rest of the world by Chesapeake International Artists.

Many of us remember Rampal’s iconic recording of the Bolling Suite. Granted Rampal’s recording is a challenging act to follow, but Choi quite successfully brings a fresh and definitive look to the score. The playing is expressive and nuanced. This CD should be on the “must have” list for serious flutist.The Flute Talk Magazine

At the world's prestigious Prague Mozart Festival, a young Korean flutist Jasmine Choi showed an exceptional performance, with her exquisite tone and brilliant technique.The Joong-Ang Daily

An excellent flutist!

The Chosun Daily
"Mr. Laycock, Ms. Choi and the Buffalo Philharmonic presented a mid-summer treat of well-played and well-appreciated music. Mr. Laycock's Flute Concerto for Jasmine Choi (Songbird's Journey) showcased the young Korean flute virtuoso Jasmine Choi, clearly a rising star on the international music scene...this three-movement work drew upon the full virtuosic abilities of the prodigious Ms. Choi. (She) played the joyful themes with clear runs, supporting the atmosphere of birds chasing one another. Throughout the work, Ms Choi played with a great deal of physical energy and determination, fitting well into the majestic phrases."Nancy PlumTown Topics - Princeton, NJ

This world-class flutist's concerto debut in Vienna was a huge success.

Jasmine Choi has complete control of her technique, a technique that expresses everything she wishes it to... Her confident interpretation [of the Jolivet Flute Concerto] led the whole orchestra, not the other way around.The Classical
A major talent with a robust tone.The Philadelphia Inquirer

Claude Bolling Suite for Flute and Jazz Trio
2012
Works by Bolling, Schocker, Schoenfield, Yiruma

"Many of us remember Rampal’s iconic recording of the Bolling Suite. Granted Rampal’s recording is a challenging act to follow, but Choi quite successfully brings a fresh and definitive look to the score. The playing is expressive and nuanced. This CD should be on the “must have” list for serious flutists." - Flute Talk Magazine

“플루트의 여신” – 한국일보
“이시대 플루트의 선구자” – 필라델피아 인콰이어러

플루티스트 최나경, 하면 주로 “첫” 이라는 수식어가 따라붙는다. 미국 메이저 오케스트라에 입단한 첫 한국인 관악주자, 미국의 저명한 플루트잡지 “Flute Talk” 커버를 장식한 첫 한국인, 국내에서 공식으로 “팝 리사이틀”을 시도한 첫 클래식 연주자, 그리고 최나경은 112년 전통의 비엔나 심포니에 입단한 역사상 첫 한국인으로 기록되었다.

하지만 음악은 장르나 악기, 인종, 종교 등에 상관없이 음악 그 자체로서 받아들여지고 즐기어져야 한다는 그녀의 바램과는 달리, 유럽인들의 인종차별이라는 의혹과 함께 비엔나 심포니를 떠나며 그야말로 전세계 음악계의 핫이슈가 된 플루티스트 최나경. 이후 전격 솔리스트로서의 커리어를 이어가고 있는 그녀는 직업 타이틀에 관계없이 앞으로 계속해서 플루트를 연주하고 팬들과 음악을 나눌 수 있는 한, 음악으로 소통할 수 있어 기쁘고 감사하다고 말한다.

미주 한국일보는 “피아노와 바이올린 선율밖엔 관심이 없던 시절, 장한나의 등장은 첼로가 얼마나 인간적인 소리를 내는 악기인지 깨닫게 했다. 이젠 플루티스트 최나경의 차례다.” 라고 극찬한 바 있으며, 미국의 음악잡지 “Symphony” 매거진으로부터 2년 연속 “떠오르는 연주자”로 선정되었고, 일찍이 필라델피아 인콰이어러로부터 "건강한 소리를 가진 대단한 재능의 소유자" 라는 호평을 받은 바 있다.

최나경은 대전에서 유년기를 보내고 음악을 더 배우고자 홀로 서울 유학을 결심, 예원학교에 입학하여 음악가가 되기 위한 노력을 본격적으로 시작하게 된다. 졸업후 서울예고 1학년 재학 중, 플루트의 거장 줄리어스 베이커로부터 “커다란 센세이션”이라는 극찬을 받으며 만 16세에 미국 커티스 음대에 전액 장학생으로 입학하였고, 이후 그가 세상을 떠나기 전까지 4년을 같이 공부하며 거장의 마지막 제자가 되었다. 줄리어드 음대 대학원에서 제프리 케이너의 지도 아래 석사과정을 마쳤고, 졸업과 동시에 신시내티 심포니 부수석으로 활동하였다.

신시내티 심포니의 당시 음악감독 파보 예르비의 지휘아래 신시내티 심포니와 솔리스트로 협연하였고, 비엔나 심포니에서의 활동 시절에는 세계적인 브레겐츠 페스티벌의 오프닝 콘서트에서 오스트리아 대통령과 문화부장관 등을 비롯한 저명인사들이 지켜보는 가운데 비엔나심포니와 솔리스트로 협연하였으며, 그 연주는 오스트리아 전역으로 생방송 중계가 되며 극찬을 받았다.

그밖에 필라델피아 오케스트라, 잘츠부르크 모차르테움, 상트페테르부르크 필하모닉, 체코 필하모닉 챔버, 줄리어드 심포니, KBS교향악단, 유라시안 필하모닉, 서울, 부천, 부산, 인천, 대전 시립교향악단, 등과 협연하였고, 미국과 유럽, 한국에서 수차례 독주회를 가진 바 있다. 미국 줄리어드 음대, 커티스 음대, 맨하탄 음대, 인디애나 음대에서 초빙교수로 공식 마스터 클래스를 가졌으며, 평소에도 틈틈이 젊은 음악도들을 지도하고 있다.

미국 아스트랄 재단의 "라이징 스타"시리즈의 일환으로 뉴욕의 카네기 홀과 필라델피아의 킴멜센터에서 연주하였고, 그밖에 런던 위그모어홀, 비엔나의 무지크페라인 골든홀, 콘체르트하우스 모차르트홀과 슈베르트홀을 비롯해 프라하의 드보르작홀, 스메타나홀, 로스앤젤레스의 디즈니홀, 필라델피아의 아카데미 오브 뮤직, 킴멜센터의 버라이즌홀 등에서 솔리스트로 연주한 바 있다.

필라델피아 오케스트라 협연자 콩쿠르, 야마하 영 아티스트 콩쿠르 우승, 그리고 줄리어드 재학시에는 줄리어드에서 주최한 협연자 콩쿠르에서 우승하여 학교 100주년 기념 시즌의 오프닝 콘서트에서 제임스 디프리스트가 지휘하는 줄리어드 심포니와 협연하였다. 필라델피아 오케스트라 협연자 콩쿠르에서는 이례적으로 단독우승임과 동시에 기존의 피아노나 현악기가 아닌 관악기라는 점에서 주목을 받았다.

미국 라스베가스에서 전세계 플루티스트들과 애호가들이 참석하는 플루트 컨벤션의 40주년 행사에 솔리스트로 초청되어 오프닝 갈라콘서트와 폐막 콘서트를 비롯해 세번의 연주를 성공리에 마쳤고, 컨벤션에서 주최하는 영아티스트 콩쿠르 심사위원으로 위촉되기도 하였다.

30년 경력의 플루트 제작자 데이비드 스트라빙거가 손수 제작한 14K 골드 플루트를 연주하고 있으며, 최나경의 새로운 악기를 축하하기 위해 스트라빙거가 작곡가 개리쇼커에게 위촉한 작품, “Winter Jasmine”은 이미 그 악보가 시중에서 큰 호평을 받고 있으며, 직접 편곡해 연주한 바하의 두대의 바이올린을 위한 협주곡, 몬티의 차르다스 등의 악보가 미국에서 출판되었다. 또한 그녀와 함께 제작된 플루트 가방 “재스민 백”은 전세계 플루트 연주자들에게 큰 사랑을 받고 있으며, 화장품 브랜드 SK-II의 홍보대사로도 적극적으로 활동하고 있다.

소니클래시컬에서 모차르트 협주곡 음반을 비롯해 비르투오조 플루트 소품집인 “Fantasy”, 그리고 클로드볼링 재즈모음곡 음반에 이어 비엔나심포니의 현악 수석멤버들과 함께한 모차르트 플루트 콰르텟 음반이 발매되었으며, 모두 언론과 음악애호가들에게 최고의 찬사를 받으며 세계적으로 두터운 팬층을 가지고 있다.

장르나 청중을 가리기보다는, “음악”이라는 더 큰 장르 안에서 보다 많은 사람들에게 실질적으로 도움이 되고 마음에 위로가 되는 음악을 하고 싶다고 말하는 최나경은 여러 SNS나 웹사이트, 블로그 등을 통해서 연주 영상은 물론이고 연주자의 생활이나 생각, 다이어리 등을 팬들과 공유하고 대화하는 것을 즐긴다.

올 시즌에도 활발한 일정으로 청중들을 찾아갈 예정인 최나경은, 플루트라는 악기의 고정관념이나, 한국인 관악 연주자에 대한 편견을 하나씩 무너뜨리며 전세계를 무대로 당차게 활동하고 있다.

“플루트의 여신” – 한국일보

“이시대 플루트의 선구자” – 필라델피아 인콰이어러

"강렬하다 못해 보는 이의 마음을 들쑤셔 놓는 최나경" – 객석

"피아노와 바이얼린 선율밖엔 관심이 없던 시절, 장한나의 등장은 첼로가 얼마나 인간적인 소리를 내는 악기인지 깨닫게 했다. 이젠 플루티스트 최나경의 차례다." - 미주 한국일보

"미국의 떠오르는 아티스트" -미국 심포니 매거진

"건장한 소리를 가진 대단한 재능의 소유자" - 필라델피아 인콰이어러

"유연하고 잘 정돈된 음색, 그리고 흠 잡을 데 없는 음악성” – 영국 런던 뮤직 오피니언

"그녀가 보여준 독창적인 음색과 잘 다듬어진 해석은 비엔나 청중들에게 뜨거운 갈채를 받았으며, 더 이상 바랄 것이 없는 연주였다." -오스트리아 플루트 페스티벌

"불꽃이 튀기는 테크닉을 요하는 리버만 콘체르토를 찬란하게 소화해낸 그녀에게 청중들은 일제히 자리에서 벌떡 일어나 기립박수를 보냈다" - 캐피탈 저널

"훌륭한 플루티스트" – 조선일보

"주목받고 있는 젊은 플루티스트 최나경은 볼프강 슐츠, 마리나 피치니니, 카를하인츠 쉬츠 등 세계적 대가들을 초청한 이 행사(오스트리아 플루트 페스티벌)에 신예로는 유일하게 초청받아 뛰어난 연주로 큰 화제를 불러일으켰다." –한국일보

"프라하 모차르트 축체와 같은 세계적 연주의 향연에 한국의 신예 플루티스트가 한몫을 차지한 것은 이례적인 일이며, 촉촉하고 또렷한 플루트 음색 압권"- 중앙일보

"플루트의 라이징 스타" – 그라모폰

"부드러운 음색과 풍부한 호흡, 명확한 선율 구사로 독주 악기의 기량을 유감없이 발휘… 우아하고 유려한 선율… 화려한 테크닉" – 중앙일보

"한국 플루트계의 신성으로 웅비하고 있는 최나경…단 한명의 선배 플루트 주자도 해외에서 확고한 솔리스트적 커리어를 완성하고 돌아오지 않은 이 땅에 신선하고 젊은 플루트 솔리스트가 등장하는 것은 대단히 고무적이다." – 객석

"’신인’이라는 단어가 어색할 정도로 자신만의 음악세계를 당당히 선보인 최나경" -스트링 앤 보우

"환영하오! 비르투오조 플루트" – 객석

"플루트계의 신성" – 음악춘추

"쉼 없이 텅잉을 반복하고 꾸밈음과 아티큘레이션을 기가 막히게 구사하는 최나경의 연주를 보고 있다니 다시금 플루트 명연은 연습의 산물인지 재능의 발현인지 혼돈이 가중된다." – 객석

"하루가 다르게 부쩍부쩍 성장 중인 의욕적인 기대주" – 그라모폰

"현악 파트에는 한국계 출신의 수석급 연주자들이 7명 정도가 있다. 하지만 관악(管樂) 부문에서 한국계 연주자가 미국 10대 교향악단의 수석 주자로 선임되기는 이번이 처음이다. 관악 파트에는 평단원도 전혀 없었다." - 중앙일보
Von der Korea Times als „die Göttin der Flöte“ hochgelobt, ist Jasmine Choi eine der am meisten gefeierten Flötisten unserer Generation. Sie ist unter den Kritikern seit ihren jungen Jahren auf internationalen Bühnen für ihren satten Ton, technische Brillanz, hervorragende Musikalität und ihre charismatische Bühnenpräsenz anerkannt. Nach ihrer Karriere als Associate Principal Flute beim Cincinnati Symphony Orchester und als Prinicipal Flute bei den Wiener Symphonikern widmet sie sich nun ihrer weiteren Laufbahn als Vollzeit - Solistin.

Jasmine Choi ist ein Flötistin, bei der man sagen kann, dass das Prädikat „Die Erste“ ungemein treffend ist. Sie war der erste aus Korea stammende Holzbläser überhaupt, der von einem großen Orchester in den Vereinigten Staaten angestellt wurde, der erste koreanische Musiker bei den Wiener Symphonikern in der 112 -jährigen Geschichte des Orchesters, der erste klassische Musiker, der eine offizielle Pop-Konzert-Tour in Korea unternommen hat und auch der erste koreanische Musiker, der in der Titelgeschichte des „Flute Talk Magazin USA“ vorgestellt wurde.

Vom „Symphony Magazin“ als eine der „America Emerging Artists“ nominiert, wurde Jasmine Choi in der „Rising Stars“-Serie in der „Carnegie Hall“, in der „Weill Recital Hall“ in Philadelphia und im „Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts“ präsentiert.

Aktuelle Highlights sind Solo-Auftritte in der „Wigmore Hall“ in London, im Wiener Konzerthaus „Schubert-Saal“, in der Hochschule für Musik in Philadelphia und im „Seoul Arts Center“ in Seoul. Des Weiteren ist sie als Solistin im Wiener Musikverein im Goldenen Saal, im Wiener Konzerthaus im Mozart Saal, in der „Disney Hall“ in Los Angeles und in Prag Dvorak Saal/Rudolfinum und im Smetana Saal in Erscheinung getreten. Viele erfolgreiche Konzerte hat sie als Solistin durchgeführt, unter anderem mit dem Philadelphia Orchestra, dem Cincinnati Symphony Orchester, dem Juilliard Symphony Orchester, den St. Petersburger Philharmonikern, dem Mozarteum Salzburg, dem Czech Philharmonic Chamber und dem Seoul Philharmonic Orchester.

Jasmine Choi wurde zudem als Solistin für das 40-jährige Jubiläum der „National Flute Association“ (NFA) in Las Vegas eingeladen und ist für ihre Solo-Auftritte anlässlich der Eröffnungsgala und der Schlussfeier, ebenso wie für einem Soloabend begeistert gefeiert worden. Außerdem diente sie als Jury-Mitglied der „Young Artist Competition“.

Aus einer musikalischen Familie stammend, wurde Jasmine in Seoul geboren und ist in Daejeon aufgewachsen. Sie begann bereits im frühen Alter mit ihrer musikalischen Ausbildung, zunächst jedoch auf der Geige und dem Klavier. Mit neun Jahren unternahm sie ihre ersten Versuche auf einer Flöte und gab bereits ein Jahr später ihren ersten öffentlichen Auftritt mit dem Kammerorchester Chongju in Haydns Konzert in D-Dur. Ihre professionelle Solo-Karriere in Korea startete im Alter von vierzehn Jahren, seitdem ist sie zahlreiche Male im Jahr als Solistin in Korea aufgetreten, ihre Live- Auftritte und Aufnahmen werden regemäßig im koreanischen Fernsehen und Radio ausgestrahlt.

Mit 16 Jahren verlegte Jasmine Choi ihren Lebensmittelpunkt in die Vereinigten Staaten, als sie ein Vollstipendium erhielt, um am „Curtis Institute of Music“ in Philadelphia zu studieren. Der legendäre Julius Baker nannte sie „eine große Sensation“ - sie studierte bei ihm vier Jahre lang bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 2003.

Jasmine Choi hält einen „Bachelor of Music“ am „Curtis Institute of Music“ und den „Master of Music“ an der „Juilliard School“, wo sie bei Jeffrey Khaner studierte. Außerdem gewann sie den „Philadelphia Orchestra Greenfield“ Wettbewerb, den „Yamaha Young Performing Artists“ Wettbewerb, den „Astral Artists“ Wettbewerb und die „Concerto Competition“ an der „Juilliard School“, wo sie auch später als Solistin für das Saisoneröffnungskonzert des 100-Jahr-Jubiläums der Schule unter der Leitung von James DePreist eingeladen wurde.

Abenteuerlustig in die Erweiterung des Repertoires für Flöte, schrieb Jasmine Choi eigene Arrangements der Violinkonzerte von Mendelssohn und Tschaikowsky, für Saint-Saens Introduktion & Rondo Capriccioso, sowie zahlreiche Sonaten für Violine und Cello. Ihre Anordnungen des Doppelkonzerts von Bach für zwei Violinen und der Czardas von Monti wurden von „Falls House Press USA“ veröffentlicht. Sehr aktiv ist sie ebenfalls in der zeitgenössischen klassischen Musikszene, sie gab bei den US-koreanischen Komponisten Solbong Kim und James Ra eigene Werke in Auftrag und führt außerdem häufig die Werke von Isang Yun auf. Der bekannte Flötist und Komponist Gary Schocker widmete ihr ein Stück mit dem Titel „Winter Jasmine“, in Würdigung ihrer neuen handgemachten 14K Gold-Flöte von David Straubinger.

Mit dem Erscheinen von insgesamt vier Solo-CDs erfüllte Jasmine sich ein ganz persönliches Ziel. Sie wurden allesamt von Sony Classical herausgegeben, zunächst die Flötenkonzerte von Mozart und danach virtuose Flötenwerke unter dem Titel „Fantasy“. Weitere Werke waren „Claude Bolling Suite“ für Flöte und „Jazz Trio“. Ihre letzte Aufnahme der Mozart-Flötenquartette spielte sie mit Mitgliedern der Wiener Symphoniker ein und wurde im Oktober 2013 veröffentlicht.

Jasmine Choi kommuniziert über die Musik mit ihren Zuhörern und möchte mit der Tradition brechen, dass klassische Musiker nur klassische Musik spielen. Sie sucht nicht das Trennende und genießt es auch Jazz und Pop zu spielen, sowie Filmmusik und Broadway Produktionen. Dabei ist sie immer ganz nahe an ihren Fans, über Facebook, Twitter und YouTube teilt sie beinahe täglich ihr Leben und Ihre Gedanken. Sie gilt als die weltweit erste Flötistin mit über 1.5 Millionen Klicks auf Youtube.

Jasmine Choi wird in Europa von Cadenza Concert International Artist Management betreut, für den Rest der Welt von Chesapeake International Artists.
