Mimi Jung is an award-winning Los Angeles–based violinist who has performed in more than fifteen countries as a soloist, chamber musician, and concertmaster. Formerly associate concertmaster of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, she is frequently invited to appear in solo and chamber music engagements worldwide.

 

Her career highlights include performances for Nobel Peace Prize Laureates at Cambridge University and appearances at major venues across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. She is also the founder of the Canvas Music Project, an initiative that creates immersive collaborations between visual arts and classical music, offering audiences fresh and engaging experiences.

​

Committed to exploring new ways to connect with audiences, Mimi documented her journey of learning all 24 Paganini Caprices in 24 weeks on YouTube during the pandemic. This project sparked conversations about overcoming challenges as a musician, the impact of perfectionism, and the value of lifelong learning.

​

As an educator, Mimi is regularly invited as a guest lecturer and enjoys giving masterclasses at universities. She is also dedicated to mentoring pre-college students preparing for auditions and competitions. She draws on her extensive experience as both performer and competitor in prestigious international competitions, including the Queen Elisabeth, Michael Hill, Singapore, Sendai, and ARD.

​

In 2025, Mimi and her husband—conductor, composer, and violinist Valentín Bravo—founded the Jung-Bravo Music Studio in Rolling Hills Estates, CA, where they offer private violin and piano instruction. Together, they also direct a community choir that performs regularly at hospitals, assisted living residences, memory care facilities, and community events.

She currently performs on a 1790 Lupot violin with an 1830 François Gaulard bow.
