Alyssa Park established an enviable international reputation at age sixteen for being the youngest prizewinner in the history of the Tchaikovsky International Competition. In addition to being awarded the bronze medal in 1990, she was also honored by the jury for being the most promising talent, most artistic performer, most interesting personality, and for displaying the best mastery of the instrument.

Park has made numerous recital and orchestral appearances in this country since her professional debut at age eleven with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra. Her New York debut recital in 1991 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall was critically acclaimed by The New York Times for "an unusually strong technique and a youthful sense of music making." Other notable recital credits include the Ravinia Festival's Rising Star Series, Kennedy Center Recital Series, Oregon Bach Festival, and Rockefeller University in New York City. She has performed with the orchestras of Cincinnati, Louisville, San Jose, Austin, Knoxville, Annapolis, New Orleans, as well as the Florida West Coast Symphony, among others.

Soon after she made appearances with the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra with Jesus Lopez-cobos, Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, and the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Gerd Albrecht. Her performance with the Austrian Radio Symphony at Vienna's Musikverein was featured in a live radio and television broadcast throughout Europe. Park has toured Germany with the Bamberg Symphony orchestra, the Czech Philharmonic, and Spain, Switzerland, and Austria with the Cincinnati Symphony.
