Dr. Clara Haneul Yoon is a versatile violinist who has been hailed by the New York Magazine as "Extraordinary technique…she can do anything she wants…" and by Seoul Culture & Arts Magazine as "Truly virtuosic, with amazing mastery of tone." She is a sought-after strings clinician and adjudicator, regularly engaged in national and international competitions, festivals, and masterclasses across North America and Asia, while balancing an active career as a performer, researcher, and educator.

Dr. Yoon holds a Bachelor's and Master of Music from The Juilliard School and a Doctorate from Columbia University. Her primary research focuses on subjectivity in music, experiences of Asian diaspora in music education, and intersections of music and educational policies in North America. Her work has been generously supported by the Enid & Lester Morse Fellowship at Columbia University, and in 2022, she received the President's Innovation Award from the NAMM Foundation for her contributions to music education. Currently, she serves as the Performance Chair for the College Music Society's 2025 National Conference.

As a recent arrival in Canada, Dr. Yoon is excited to collaborate with fellow artists and looks forward to contributing to the country's vibrant and flourishing arts scene.
