Classical Piano and Voice (Bass)

Justin "IJ" Han is an American Prize Finalist conductor, pianist, and singer based in Atlanta. He serves as the Artistic Director of the Athens Master Chorale and Director of Music & Organist at Emory Presbyterian Church. Beyond music, he is a multidisciplinary individual with a strong foundation in the sciences and is also a Lecturer of Biology at Georgia State University Perimeter College.

With a deep love for Baroque music and the works of Mozart and Ravel, IJ finds joy in bringing music to life—whether conducting, accompanying, or performing. In June 2023, he presented an all-Mozart recital, featuring himself as the soloist in Piano Concerto No. 21. He has been a guest conductor for the Alpharetta Symphony Orchestra and frequently sings with professional ensembles such as the Kinnara Ensemble and Coro Vocati. In high demand as an accompanist, he regularly collaborates with K-12 schools, universities, and professional performers. Additionally, he has served as a clinician for high school and university choirs, including those at the University of North Georgia, Georgia Tech, the Georgia Youth Symphony Orchestras, and Atlanta Young Singers.

He holds master’s degrees in Choral Conducting, Piano Performance, and Medical Sciences from Georgia State University, where he was awarded the Robert Shaw Choral Scholar Award and the Stegner Piano Scholarship.
IJ views music as a dynamic force that bridges the vast and the personal, offering a unique way to express what words cannot. He believes that the essence of music lies in the authenticity of its performers, with the human condition being the key element that gives depth to the art.
