Dr. Hur has been an emerging artist in various solo performances from an early age. She first made her debut as a performer when she was 12 years old in Korea. In this debut performance, she played Devienne’s Flute Concerto No. 7 with brilliant technique. In addition, she was invited to perform as a soloist with the Seoul Art Orchestra at the young age of 13.
After graduating from Sun-Hwa Arts Middle School and High School, she continued to devote herself to music. She won numerous competitions during this time, including the Korean Flute Association Competition, Sung-Shin Women’s University Flute Competition, the University of Seoul’s Woodwind Competition, the Korean Philharmonic Orchestra Competition, and the Korean Music Competition. While studying at Seoul National University, she won prominent music competitions in Korea, such as winning First Place in the Sung Jung Music Competition, the Woo-Hyun Music Competition, and the Joong-Ang Newspaper Music Competition; winning Third Place in the Dong-A Music Competition and the Korean Music Association Competition; and placing as a Finalist in the Osaka International Flute Competition.

Since 2007, she has been featured in various concerts, such as Mid-South Flute Festival’s Closing Gala Concert, the Winner’s Concert at Fire House in New Haven, and the Alexander and Buono International Flute Competition Winner’s Concert at Carnegie Hall. As an orchestral musician, she had the honor of performing as a soloist with the Sung Jung Philharmonic Orchestra. Dr. Hur has also performed as a soloist with the New Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra, the Korean Symphony Orchestra, and the Indiana University Orchestra. In 2016, she was invited to hold a solo recital at the Tunghai University in Taiwan. Additionally, she gave six recitals at Indiana University and three recitals at Arizona State University with varied and diverse repertoire for her music degrees. Dr. Hur has also given recitals in Korea in 2011 and 2015. Not only did she perform in solo and orchestra performances, but she also performed as a chamber musician.
