For this series she received the Arts Award of the year 2005 by the Korean Arts & Cultural Association. Later she completed another Beethoven cycle with all piano trios\, violin sonatas and works for cello and piano.

The entire set of Beethoven piano sonatas are to be released in the upcoming year. Her other recordings include *Debussy Douze Etudes*\, *F. Liszt Six Grand Etudes on Paganini*\, *Isang Yun 5 Stücke*\, *Chopin Etudes Op. 10 & Op. 25*. Choi appeared and performed in TV & radio channels in Korea\, US\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Sweden and in Germany. \n\nIn 2023/24 HieYon Choi joined the piano faculty at Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore\, US\, after having served for 24 years as tenured piano professor at Seoul National University in Korea.

She won all four most coveted competitions in Korea (Dong-A\, Choong-Ang\, Korea Times\, Ehwa-KyungHyang) under the early tutelage of Prof. Joong-Won Koh and moved to Germany at the age of 18 to study with Prof. Klaus Hellwig at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin.
