Faculty Artist Series: Luther College Piano Quartet with Dawn Wohn, violin
2025-10-25 16:00 - 17:00 | Jenson-Noble Hall of Music, Noble Recital Hall
The Luther College Piano Quartet will perform with violinist Dawn Wohn at 4:00 p.m. in the Noble Recital Hall.
Praised as having “a joyful sense of freedom, and a pure, unencumbered tone” by BBC Music Magazine, violinist Dawn Dongeun Wohn has performed in concert halls across five continents including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. She has appeared as a soloist for live-broadcast performances with orchestras such as the Korean Broadcasting Symphony and the Aspen Conducting Orchestra, The New York Sinfonietta, and Japan’s Telemann Ensemble. In addition, she has performed recitals across the world including Carnegie Weill Hall, Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall, and Jordan Hall.
Her debut solo album Perspectives, featuring works by female composers was featured by the New York Times, Spotify and Apple Music and was chosen as one of WQXR’s best albums of the year. Her recent release, Unbounded by Delos Music explores music by American women. Both albums have been featured on radio programs all over the world and have been noted for its “elegant and impassioned playing” (Classical Magazine), “warm, crystal-clear tone” (Whole note Magazine), “stunning and panache” (IAWN) and “committed, caring and lovely playing” (Fanfare).
As a musician with a wide range of styles and interests, Dawn often performs with new music ensembles and as guest concertmaster for orchestras in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall to Radio City Music Hall. Recent activities include a new commission by Jungsun Kang, performances of Mark Phillip’s Violin Power for violin and interactive electronics, and international tours with DJ Kid Koala and the Afiara Quartet as part of an interdisciplinary live show “Nufonia Must Fall”. As an active chamber musician, Dawn has been invited to perform at festivals such as International Musician’s Seminar Prussia Cove in England, The Banff Centre, Music@Menlo, and Aspen Music Festival. Notable collaborations include members of the Emerson, Miami and Tokyo String Quartets, as well as Colin Carr, Jason Vieaux and Roberto Plano.
Dawn began her violin studies at age 4 and trained at The Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division as a full scholarship student of the renowned pedagogue Dorothy DeLay. Further studies include an undergraduate degree from The Juilliard School, a Master of Music and Artist Diploma from Yale University, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Stony Brook University where she studied with Philip Setzer of the Emerson Quartet, Soovin Kim and Gilbert Kalish.
Committed to teaching the next generation of violinists, she is currently on faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Mead Witter School of Music and teaches at Rocky Ridge Music Festival during the summers. Previously, she held the position of Associate Professor of Violin at Ohio University’s School of Music as well as Associate Concertmaster of Harrisburg Symphony. As a guest artist she has presented and performed recitals at over 50 schools such as Oberlin, New England Conservatory, NYU, Ithaca College, Bowling Green State University and Kansas University. She has also been on faculty of festivals such as the Académie Anglicorde in France, International Music Festival of the Adriatic in Italy, and Festival de Febrero in Mexico.
Dawn performs on a 1732 Nicolo Gagliano violin and enjoys reading or spending time outdoors with her husband Jay, son Jasper and dog Wolfie (named after Mozart) when she is not performing or teaching. For more information on Dawn, please visit www.dawnplaysviolin.com

Dia De Los Muertos Chapel
Day of the Dead is an important celebration for Mexican and Latino people, in which we remember, honor, and pray for our loved ones who have passed away.
People in Mexico make richly decorated altars in their homes, cemeteries and churches, to remember and pray for the souls of the faithful departed. The deceased loved ones are remembered with offerings of food, drinks, photos, and objects that the person enjoyed in life. These things are laid out on the altar table. Day of the Dead prayers remember the legacy and good deeds of our ancestors as we pray for them and with them.
You are invited to bring a picture or memento of a loved one to add to the Ofrenda during the chapel service (an “ofrenda” is an altar or display that honors deceased loved ones during the Mexican celebration of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead).
The whole Luther community is invited to join us for chapel break, in-person or online, regardless of faith tradition or background. Connect to our livestream or come in person! This time is intentionally set aside for you to pause and connect — we hope to see you!

Renascence tells the captivating story of young Edna St. Vincent Millay’s transformation from small-town Maine poet to New York literary sensation. At just 18, Millay writes her masterpiece “Renascence”—a profound meditation on suffering, rebirth, and the interconnectedness of all life—launching her extraordinary journey from rural obscurity to fame. This musical explores the power of art to transcend restrictions and the human struggle between confinement and freedom, death and renewal.
