 Two days ago, the Dong-A Ilbo News featured "classic accordion" player Jeon Yoo-jeong and her solo classic accordion performance in Keumho Art Hall in central Seoul.Jeon was going to learn to play the accordion for one year in her first year of high school in Russia but she had second thoughts after her first class. From there, Jeon made a five-year plan for her accordion development and showed it to her parents. Jeon set a goal to win a prize in domestic competition in her first year, and to go on to holding a solo concert, winning international competitions and performing with an orchestra. "I practiced 16 hours a day." Eleven months later, Jeon won the second place in the Lanciano International Accordion Competition in Italy. The next year she held a solo performance, and won No. 1 ranking in 2010 Clava and 2011 Val Tidone (Italy) competitions. By 2011 and playing with an orchestra "I had achieved my goals in four years," she said. "When I was playing with the orchestra, a Russian professor liked it and I was able to transfer to the Russian Gnesins Academy of Music." Asked about her future plans since she has returned to South Korea, Jeon said, "I want to promote activities in Korea and break the bias on classic accordions here." |
