MyungJin Oh is a pianist and musicologist from South Korea. She made her debut at the age of thirteen, performing Mozart’s Concerto No. 21, K. 467 and Chopin’s Concerto No. 2, Op. 21 at Bolshoi Hall in the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. She has won numerous competitions and has performed at major concert venues across the United States, Korea, Russia, Austria, and Italy.

Oh’s academic research examines nineteenth-century music, performance practice, organology, embodiment, timbre, and the cultural production of musical value. Her article, “Object Lesson: The Personified Voice of Chopin’s Last Pleyel Piano,” appeared in 19th-Century Music (Vol. 50, No. 1). Her research on Chopin also includes the forthcoming essay, “Phonocentrism in Chopin’s Piano Music: Le Pianiste Aesthetics and the Artist’s Voice in Performance,” to be published in the proceedings of the International Musicological Conference organized by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw. She has also published a review in the Journal of the American Musicological Society (Vol. 77, No. 3), for which she served as an Editorial Assistant for Reviews from 2023 to 2025.

Oh has presented her research at national and international conferences, including multiple Annual Meetings of the American Musicological Society, the International Musicological Conference by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw, the Forte/Piano Festival and Conference at Cornell University, and the Joint INCSA-NCSA-INCS conference (International Nineteenth-Century Studies Association), among other venues in the United States, Europe, and Korea.

Oh holds both a PhD in Musicology and a DMA in Classical Piano from Rutgers University, where she currently serves as a Lecturer in Musicology.
