Grace Jun is currently the principal flutist of the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, and a highly sought out performer and teacher serving the Seattle, Redmond, Issaquah/Sammamish, and Bellevue communities in Washington.

Her recent activities include performing at McCaw Hall for the prescreening of Ken Burn’s new documentary, “The American Revolution”, premiering a piece for flute and guitar by local Seattle composer, Danial Carr, serving as an adjudicator for the 2025 SnoKing District Solo and Ensemble Competition, and performing with the Solstice Symphony Orchestra as principal flute for their 2nd season. Besides local activities, her performances have taken her across the globe to Daejeon, South Korea in 2023, and Xi’an, Beijing, and Chengdu, China in 2019. During these international visits, she was invited to lead masterclasses and was featured with the University of Washington’s Wind Ensemble on national television and the news. Prior to this, she had the opportunity to perform as principal flute under the batons of Maestro Ludovic Morlot of the Seattle Symphony and Maestra Sunny Xia, the Assistant Conductor of Opéra national du Rhin.

Over the years, Grace has performed in masterclasses of Ransom Wilson, Jonathan Keeble, Leonard Garrison, Aaron Goldman and other renowned flutists. Her musical successes include earning runner up and honorable mention in the UW’s Concerto Competition Woodwinds division in 2023, being a prize winner in the Arizona Flute Society Adult Division competition (2021; AZ), Coeur d’Alene Symphony’s National Young Artists Competition (2019; ID), and the CederLuke Young Artist Competition (2018; MT). She has also been a featured performer at the Sewanee Summer Music Festival (TN), and the ARIA International Music Festival (MA).

Besides her own successes, Grace’s students have winners of their regional Solo and Ensemble competitions, and have been accepted into the Seattle Youth Symphony and Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestras.

Piano

Grace started learning piano at the age of 3, and continued to take lessons until the age of 18. Because her mother was also a piano teacher (and still going strong!), she developed a passion for teaching and sharing music with the next generation. Although flute became her main instrument, she still plays piano as part of her praise team at church. She also accompanies her flute students and enjoys playing duets with her piano students.

From 2020-2022, Grace went back home to Vancouver, WA, where she taught group flute, piano, and kindergarten music classes at a local music school, Opus School of Music. Aside from her group classes, she had a thriving private studio of 50 students learning flute and piano. 

Returning to Seattle, Grace’s goal has been to successfully equip students with a passion and strong foundation for music, but also to make it easier on families schedules by traveling to their homes. .
