Cellist Chase Park has quickly emerged as one of the most sought-after young musicians of his generation, recognized for performances that combine emotional intensity, stylistic versatility, and an adventurous approach to programming. Equally at home in the standard repertoire and contemporary music, he has appeared at many of the world’s leading chamber music festivals and concert series, earning a reputation as a dynamic collaborator and compelling artistic voice.
As a chamber musician, he makes regular appearances at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, the Marlboro Music Festival, and Caramoor. He has collaborated and performed with esteemed artists such as Mitsuko Uchido, Jonathan Biss, Scott St. John, Samuel Rhodes, Anthony McGill, Carmit Zori, Benjamin Schmid, Pamela Frank, and Itzhak Perlman, Gidon Kremer, Antje Weithaas, and Enrico Pace among others.
His appearances have included performances at Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Seoul Arts Center, Lotte Concert Hall, Casals Forum, Konzerthaus Berlin, Smetana Hall, Perelman Stage at the Kimmel Center, the Freer Gallery of Art, and much more. His love for chamber music has resulted in fellowships at the Perlman Music Program (“Littles”) and Chamber Music Workshop, Ravinia Steans Institute, the Marlboro Music Festival, Kronberg Chamber Music Connects the World and the Valley of the Moon Festival.
Park is extremely passionate about chamber music, historical performance, and championing lesser-known solo works in the cello repertoire, and he employs multiple art disciplines to better convey this music to larger audiences.
Additionally, he enjoys teaching and is a teaching assistant for Minhye Clara Kim (Juilliard School) and Madeleine Golz (JCC Thurnauer School of Music / Manhattan School of Music Precollege Division). He is honored to have been selected for the prestigious Artist Diploma program at the Manhattan School of Music (one musician selected annually in the entire program).
An avid chamber musician, Chase has had the privilege of collaborating and performing with esteemed artists such as Mitsuko Uchida, Jonathan Biss, Scott St. John, Samuel Rhodes, Hsin-Yun Huang, Anthony Mcgill, Carmit, Zori, Atar Arad, Meng Chieh Liu, Benjamin Schmid, Pamela Frank, and Itzhak Perlman. In 2019, solo and chamber music performances through ‘Curtis on Tour’ brought him to international stages in Athens, Paris, Kempten, Teulada, and Berlin, launching his international reputation. He made his Alice Tully Hall debut performing the Haydn Cello Concerto in D major with the Juilliard Chamber Orchestra in December of 2021. His love for chamber music has resulted in fellowships at the Perlman Music Program “Littles” and Chamber Music Workshop, Ravinia Steans Institute, the Marlboro Music Festival, and Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars Mentoring Program. He is a member of Sejong Soloists, which has brought him to Asia to collaborate with artists such as Philippe Quint, Joyce Di Donato, and Tod Machover.
Chase is a passionate teacher and is humbled to be the teaching assistant of Minhye Clara Kim and Madeleine Golz. He also has an insatiable curiosity for musical instruments and would like to own a collection of fine cellos and bows.
