Robert Sang-Ung Choi was born in Chicago to a music-loving family. He began studying music at the age of three; first the violin and later, the piano and cello. His loving affection for music and exceptional musical talent became evident to his music teachers during his early years. However, as a multitalented person, it was only later in life that Robert decided music was a means to an end for his life. Relying upon a remarkable degree of self-awareness and self-knowledge, Robert knew what he wanted to accomplish – his pursuit of the purity of sound, without any musical boundaries.

Back to Nature – the natural virtuoso, purity of sound. Through years of rigorous classical training, Robert developed a pureness and clarity of tone and expression which has brought him rave reviews and numerous performances as soloist, recitalist and chamber musician in Japan, North America and throughout Europe.

No Borders. From Bach to Piazzolla, Jazz to Modern Music. Sang-Ung´s interest in different types of music – jazz, tango, modern classical, traditional classical – is evident in his performance with various artists. His sheer breadth of projects included performance with drummer Ritchie Pratt for ”Jazz in Honolulu“; Jazz at Leopoldskron featuring Afro-American Spirituals; Chamber music with various ensembles, including the Salzburg Soloists and the Austrian Ensemble for New Music (ÖENM); and Luigi the Barnyard Mouse, which features reading and performance of his own story and music. His latest project is called fuegokoori, an exploration of Asian and Latin music for cello and guitar.
