About Jacqueline Cordova-Arrington, flute
Jacqueline Cordova-Arrington is Assistant Professor of Flute at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance and a member of the Oregon Wind Quintet. She has performed
in residencies across the country and facilitated masterclasses at such institutions as the University of Hawaii Manoa, University of Puget Sound, University of Maryland, and Ohio State University.
As a former member of Carnegie Hall's chamber music collective, Ensemble Connect, Cordova-Arrington collaborated with colleagues in performances at the Weill, Trinity, Subculture, and National Sawdust concert series. In contrast to the ensemble’s more traditional performances, she gained experience leading interactive performances in various community spaces including public schools, correctional facilities, and centers for adults with developmental disabilities.
Jacqueline Cordova-Arrington completed her doctorate at the Eastman School of Music, studying with Bonita Boyd and earning an additional certificate in world music. Her previous teachers include David Cramer, Amy Porter, and Bradley Garner. As a recipient of the William D. Ford Fulbright Grant, she studied with Andreas Blau, principal flutist of the Berlin Philharmonic. Her training in Berlin initiated her success as an orchestral flutist,
leading to performances with major orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Milwaukee Symphony, Seattle Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, and Louisiana Philharmonic.
In 2021, Ms. Cordova-Arrington co-founded the Umoja Flute Institute, a non-profit that creates opportunities in professional development, performance, and community for black
flutists around world. She currently serves as the co-chair of the organization. She also serves on the boards of Orchestra Next and the National Flute Association.

About Min Young Kang, piano
Korean-born pianist and artistic curator Dr. Min Young Kang has earned acclaim for both her captivating stage presence and innovative concert experiences alike. Dubbed “an absolute gem” by the Montecito Journal, her performances span the United States, France, and South Korea, gracing renowned venues such as Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Château de Fontainebleau, the Sejong Center M Theater, and the Astral Concert Series. Her 2021 debut album, Remembering Russia, featured her electric collaboration with Spanish violist Jesús Rodolfo on the prestigious PENTATONE label. The album debuted with great acclaim for its sensitive and nuanced interpretations, with Tarraco Culture Club noting Min Young’s lyrical touch and expressive depth.
Raised in Seoul, Min Young’s performance career has seen her at concert series and festivals across the United States, including the Lyric Chamber Music Society, Shandelee Music Festival, Arazzo Music Festival, Young Musicians Forum Recital, and NV Virtuoso Concert Series. In addition, she has enjoyed numerous international accolades since making her home in the United States in 2008, including prizes from the J.C. Arriaga Chamber Music Competition, Artur Balsam Duo Competition, and Lillian Fuchs Chamber Music Competition, as well as the Talisman Energy Emerging Artist Award (Canada), Kraeuter Musical Foundation Award (USA), and the Special Director’s Award and Chamber Music Excellence award from Ecoles D’Art Americaines de Fontainbleau (France).
Among the region’s most sought after collaborators, Min Young’s experience spans performances with the world’s best musicians, including Ani Kavafian, Robert Langevin, members of the New York Philharmonic, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center; as a vocal pianist, she has worked with the Aspen School of Music and Songfest. Adding to her individual brilliance is her work as the Founder and Artistic Director of the Kallos Chamber Music Series in New Haven, CT. Now in its seventh season, Kallos has enjoyed significant local acclaim—the New Haven Independent praised Kallos as “resonant with the time,” while an audience member describes the experience as “impeccably performed, with witty commentary and swoon-worthy music.”
In addition to her global performance schedule, Min Young Kang serves as the staff pianist at Mannes School of Music and Purchase College. She received a Master of Music (M.M.) from the Eastman School of Music, a Collaborative Piano Fellowship from the Yale School of Music, and a Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) from the Manhattan School of Music, from whom she received the Kraeuter Musical Foundation Award. Her latest endeavor, the summer concert series Listeners Club, continues her passion for making chamber music accessible through offering a unique, up-close-and-personal concert experience in Bergen County, NJ. She makes her home near New York City.
