The renowned novelist Pearl S. Buck exhibited a sharp eye for talent and played a significant role in Joyce Noh's career when the popular writer invited the young violinist to come to the United States from her native Seoul, South Korea, to further her music studies under a full scholarship.

Joyce started playing the violin at the age of 5, and she went on to win a host of competitions throughout Seoul. Her first teacher was her mother, a member of the Seoul Philharmonic. After arriving in the United States under the auspices of the humanitarian writer, Joyce began studies at the New School of Music in Philadelphia with Jascha Brodsky. She spent a year at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, and from there went to the Juilliard School in New York City, where she became a student of Ivan Galamian. In addition, she studied chamber music repertory with Felix Galimir and Robert Mann. Joyce was a member of the Baltimore Symphony for two years before she was appointed to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra by Sir Georg Solti in 1979. She was the first Asian woman to be hired into the CSO.

In addition to television and radio broadcasts, Joyce has appeared as a soloist with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra on many occasions. She has also performed in numerous recitals and chamber music concerts in the Chicago area, including WFMT live concerts and performances at Northwestern University.

In recent years, she has been an active recitalist in addition to making regular appearances with various CSO chamber music groups around the Chicago area. She also devotes her time to teaching and mentoring promising young violinists.

Founded in 1891, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the greatest orchestras in the world. In collaboration with the best conductors and guest artists on the international music scene, the CSO performs well over one hundred concerts each year at its downtown home, Symphony Center, and at the Ravinia Festival on Chicago’s North Shore, where it is in residency each summer. Music lovers outside Chicago enjoy the sounds of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra through best-selling recordings and frequent sold-out tour performances in the United States and around the globe.

Fay Ray (formerly Church Booty) has evolved. With eight moving parts topped by the electric vocals of Mariel Fechik, the Chicago band's funk and jazz influence has grown into a character all its own. Fay Ray's debut EP “No Love,” released Oct 2017, brings the band's chemistry and collaboration into the spotlight, with four diverse tracks that explore the intricacy of romantic relationships. When the band formed in the university town of Champaign-Urbana, IL, they were taking part in an innovative, supportive, and wide-reaching local music scene. Moving to Chicago in 2015, the band began playing around the city and beyond. Their music stems from eclectic mix of genres, taking influence from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Nao, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Becca Stevens, all the while expanding on their equally eclectic tastes. The core band members (Mariel Fechik, Noah Gerhmann, Joe Meland, Rob Osiol, Erik Opland, and Tom Kelly) all share writing responsibilities, making for a uniquely collaborative experience. Keep an eye on Fay Ray as they continue to hone in on their particular brand of spacey, dreamy funk/R&B.
