Violinist Angelia Cho's concerto debut was with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the age of 11. Since then, she has enjoyed an exciting and versatile career as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, teaching artist, and orchestral musician across the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa.

As an orchestral musician, Cho performed in the Minnesota Orchestra for the 2014–2015 season and subbed with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is also a former member of IRIS Orchestra as well as Boston Grammy Award®-nominated ensemble A Far Cry.

She received her Bachelor of Music degree in 2002 from The Curtis Institute of Music, studying with Ida Kavafian, and continued her education in Boston at the New England Conservatory with Donald Weilerstein, earning a master's degree and graduate diploma in performance.

In 2000, Cho won the National Society of Arts and Letters Violin Competition and first prize at the Rutenberg Chamber Music Competition and was also the winner of the Concerto Competition and was in Honors ensemble at New England Conservatory. In 2007, Cho became a fellow of the Academy, a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and the Weill Institute in New York City, currently known as ensemble Connect.

An avid educator and ambassador of music, Cho has been involved in several projects around the world, one of which included the building of the first national youth orchestra in Iraq. Though the orchestra is no longer in existence, the experience resulted in a book called Upbeat by author and conductor Paul MacAlindin, with whom Cho collaborated closely for four years during the project. Cho has since performed in numerous chamber music series and festivals, including Kneisel Hall, Yellow Barn, Verbier, Ravinia, Northwestern University Winter Festival, the Open Chamber Music Session in Prussia Cove in England, and the Grahamstown National Arts Festival in South Africa. She has collaborated with world renowned artists in chamber music and solos, such as Ida Haendel, Christian Tetzlaff, Shlomo Mintz, members of the Cleveland Quartet, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Minnesota Orchestra.

Cho is on faculty at The Concord Conservatory, the visiting faculty at Brandeis College, a guest coach at the NEC Preparatory, and on faculty at the Decoda/Skidmore College Chamber Music Institute as of 2018. Cho will be joining the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center for the 2018-2019 season in Washington D.C.
