The last few days have been very intense! Toledo-M

The last few days have been very intense! Toledo-Madrid-Sevilla-Madrid with trains at 6 am, concerts and rehearsals all day while taking care of my 1 year old. In this picture, I am warming up before the rehearsal but my focus is clearly on someone else 😂 I love how motherhood is teaching me to prioritize my life differently but it’s so challenging sometimes. Traveling with a baby is very difficult but working and raising your child at the same time is even more difficult. Lots of things in this society needs to change in order for mother’s to raise our children with less pressure and less guilt. #workingmom #violinist #ontheroad #musicianlife #travel #1yearold #stillbreastfeeding

I show love through food. I love cooking for people and hosting parties at my house. My mother always says that my food is borderless and international 😂 I do think it is the best way to describe my cooking but more importantly, it describes the person I strive to be. My life, how family, my house is a mix of Korea, the US and Spain. While it is amazing, it definitely has its challenges. I’ve made plenty of mistakes in navigating these challenges but knowing that somehow comforts me. It allows me to connect with a more honest version of myself and I feel humbled by that. I believe that we are here to help one another. I want to do what I can to make this a better place, one plate at a time, one story at a time. #koreanamerican #cooking #loving #sharing #musician #violinist #newmom

Been feeling a lot of intense feelings lately. I feel so grateful to be a musician, to have so much love and support around me, for my healthy baby Gael, and so many more things. But I’ve been mostly grateful for some of the personal work that I’ve been doing with my therapist. Revisiting difficult moments in the past is tough but I’ve been able to shed a different light to some things and being able to relive some of those experiences with a different perspective is changing me. I had an interview recently where I say that we need to share more, listen more and break taboos. What are some of the taboos that you think we should break in this society? Let’s talk. #letsshare #letslisten #breaktaboos #workingmom #maureenchoi #violinist #newmom #mentalhealth

After 10 months of breastfeeding every 2 hours (or less), I’m back in the studio recording for the great @moisespsanchez and his new album “Bartok Revisted”. While it feels strange to not be with my baby, it also feels liberating and even a bit exciting. Back to breastfeeding as soon as I get home to repeat this again tomorrow! @estudiouno #maureenchoi #violinist #workingmom #musician #newmom #recording #newcd #newmusic

We played the last concert of the year together in Pinto last night. This year has been quite intense but I’ve never felt more grateful. Thanks for all the love and support ❤️ Happy holidays everyone!

Gigging, touring, breastfeeding, traveling, changing diapers, performing..that’s my life these days 😅My son is already 7 months old and he’s been to Sardegna, Granada, Zaragoza, Oviedo, Mallorca (twice), Valladolid and has more cities coming up soon! It is pretty intense to perform and breastfeed at the same time but seeing how heathy and strong my kid is makes it all worth it. #appreciateyourmom #violinist #tour #workingmom #babyontour #supermom #doingitall

What a fun day for me musically playing with 2 of my favorite pianists at the same time!! Thank you @davidsanchomangas @danielgarciadiego for such a fun evening 😍 #maureenchoi #violinist #tour #showtime #workingmom #femaleleaders #myband #lovemyjob #musicianslife

Even though too often our success is measured by h

Even though too often our success is measured by how many followers or likes we have, I find it difficult to get myself to post as much as I “should”. Having to keep up my social media image takes away from concentrating on the important things and truly being connected to what I’m doing. When I’m at soundcheck, I would like to just check my sound, conserve my energy, get to know the venue, connect with my band members, warm up properly, stretch, eat a bit, set up to sell CDs, change my clothes etc.etc instead of having to promote and show off that I’m about to play a gig on Instagram. The reason why I like these pictures is because they capture true feelings and authentic moments. Nothing fake, nothing forced, nothing staged. This is what we do when we are in our element. The promo stuff is important but it’s not genuine. The smiles on @danielgarciadiego @mcarrillomusic and Borja are worth so much more than a million likes and followers. Thanks for creating these real, sincere, authentic and meaningful moments with me. @feminajazzfestival @ernestocortijophoto @cafeberlinmadrid #maureenchoiquartet #maureenchoi #violinist #composer #femaleleader #musicianslife #jazz #festival

My last concert before going on maternity leave! S

My last concert before going on maternity leave! So many emotions..To all the working pregnant mothers out there. RESPECT. It is so difficult to carry around all the extra weight and work at the same time. Performing sitting down isn’t ideal but I had to because my legs are constantly swollen. Sadly, not once did I have someone offer their seat in the metro. The next time you see a pregnant woman standing using public transport, get your butt up and offer your seat instead of having your eyes glued to your stupid phone. You don’t know how hard it is to even walk when you pregnant. #treatpeoplewithkindness #wecandobetter #beawareofyoursurroundings #workingmom #pregnant #violinist #maureenchoiquartet #maureenchoi #musician

Thank you all so much for coming to our show last

Thank you all so much for coming to our show last night!! During these difficult and strange times, I try to remind myself to be more grateful for all the things I maybe took for granted before. Playing to a live audience or being able to perform is maybe one of them. I want to say a special thanks to everyone working to push and support live music and culture. Another special thanks to everyone who came to see us last night. It’s you who make this possible for us. #thankyou #muchlove #musicislife #maureenchoi #maureenchoiquartet #livemusic #concert #standingovation #violinist #femaleartist #myband #femaleentrepreneur #leadership #culturasegura #apoyalolocal @mcarrillomusic @danielgarciadiego @_michael_olivera_ @sansilvania

I love this picture so much by @dgarciaphoto because it captures the reality of my life in some ways. I’m the leader and the front woman for #maureenchoiquartet but I have a lot of support behind me pushing me to be the leader that I need to be. This support is in clear focus in this photo and I just wanted to take the time to say, let’s never underestimate or forget all the people working behind the scenes for little to no recognition. There are so many humble people out there who work quietly while keeping the engines running. During these crazy times while many people in the art industry are out of work, I want to say thank you to all the people behind the scenes who make every show possible. #thankyou #theshowmustgoon #violinist #maureenchoi @mcarrillomusic #musician #music #musiciansofinstagram #musicianlife #supportartists #supportlivemusic
