Alyssa Park
Alyssa Park was appointed to the position of LA Opera's Stuart Canin Concertmaster in 2026.
She established an enviable international reputation at the age of 16 as the youngest prizewinner in the history of the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Competition. Her New York City debut recital at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall was critically acclaimed by The New York Times for "an unusually strong technique and a youthful sense of music making." Other notable credits include the Ravinia Festival series, the Kennedy Center recital series, the Oregon Bach Festival, and Rockefeller University in New York City.
In Europe, she has performed as a soloist with Sir Colin Davis and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as with the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, Austrian Radio Symphony, Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, and the Hamburg Philharmonic. She toured Spain, Switzerland, and Austria with the Cincinnati Symphony. In Australia, she also appeared as soloist with the orchestras of Sydney, Adelaide, and Tasmania.
Past seasons have included performances in Asia with the Korean Broadcasting Symphony, Japan Philharmonic, and the Singapore Symphony. She has also appeared with the Berlin Radio Orchestra, Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, Lisbon Symphony, Salzburger Kammerphilharmonie, and Munich Philharmonic, and made her debut at Italy’s Ravello Festival and the Netherlands’ Royal Concertgebouw.
An avid chamber musician, Ms. Park has been a frequent guest at major festivals throughout Europe and the United States. She is a founding member of the Los Angeles–based Lyris Quartet. Lyris curates the Hear Now new music festival, dedicated to performing the works of living Southern California composers. The quartet is the resident ensemble for the acclaimed Jacaranda music series in Santa Monica and has performed as part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Green Umbrella series, has been featured at the Hollywood Bowl, and debuted with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in the 2025/26 season.
Ms. Park's recordings can be found on Albany records, Toccata Classics, ARS, and Naxos.
