Hello, my name is Dayeon Ko. I am currently attending an international school in Korea. Since it was a requirement to play an instrument in our school, I started playing the flute in third grade. Because my mom also played the flute, I started my journey off with what she used when she was young. I’ve been in a band since middle school. I’ve won numerous awards, including first place at the Seoul Orchestra Competition, third place at the Korea Flute Association, and a gold medal at the Kimea Solo Competition.
I love classical music, so I’m also the Korean Region Director for a volunteer group called Back to Bach. I’m working to introduce classical music to children who aren’t familiar with it.
Thank you!
Watch Dayeon Ko perform Concertino for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 107 by Cécile Chaminade on the flute for the 2025 Global Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
