Seiha Park has been orbiting the piano since the age of five — drawn to it so completely that as a child, she would often fall asleep underneath it, unwilling to leave its side. As the only musician in her family, she soon learned that music needed to coexist with life rather than consume it.
Her time at the San Francisco Conservatory shaped this perspective, where a lifelong mentor, John McCarthy, taught her the value of curiosity, balance, and thinking beyond endless hours of practice. Although her childhood dreams were seemingly fulfilled upon arriving at the New England Conservatory on full scholarship, Park realized that ambition never ceases to grow.
She continued her studies at New York University with Jeffrey Swann, where she also serves as adjunct faculty teaching piano. Her musical interests lean toward long-form exploration — from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and Granados' Goyescas to Chopin's four Ballades, with Beethoven's cycle of 32 piano sonatas currently underway.
Outside music, Park is a full-time home barista, part-time knitter, and occasional baker — equally addicted to coffee, yarn, and sugar.
