About
Hi, my name is Jicheol and I am currently a graduate student at Columbia University studying Financial Engineering (tours available ㋡). While I have spent much of my life studying math and science, my true passion lies in classical music. I studied at the Manhattan School of Music for nine years with Carmel Lowenthal, where I was on a Matilda-Endowed Scholarship.
