Hello, I'm Jonathan Pak. I am a 20-year-old Korean-American student and I work part-time at Kamimoto String Instrument Shop. I play the violin and if you need any help with violins, you can talk to me. I'm full of laughter and always enjoy meeting new people and I love working with kids. Often times people call me a 20-year-young kid. I speak some Korean, some Japanese, and am occasionally picking up some Chinese at work.
I first started piano lessons in 2nd grade and later picked up the violin in the 4th grade. My favorite violin piece is the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D. My favorite performer is the great Jascha Heifetz and I enjoy listening to some of Maxim Vengerov's often whimsical yet very exciting interpretations of my favorite classic concertos and pieces. I also enjoy some good rock bands and Christian bands.
I am a man of many hobbies. I am also a huge San Jose Sharks fan so if you have tickets and want someone to go with, I'm your guy! I enjoy serving at church, bowling, playing chess, watching movies, going to the gym, StarCraft, and most of all ping pong!
Next time you stop by at Kamimoto's come say hi to me!
I'm a professional cellist just returned to San Francisco after 24 years playing in the Stadttheater in Germany. I also played in the National Opera in Mexico City. I've traveled around, played a lot, and taught extensively. I take care of all our cellos and do sales work in the shop.
Additional information written by Vincy Judy’s very modest and she was having a difficult time writing the biography. She’s traveled around the world and has been experiencing many fascinating places. Ask her to narrate any one of her wonderful stories while visiting our workshop. She has plenty of stories to tell you!
