1. 세계적인 지휘자이자 피아니스트인 정명훈 (전 서울시향 지휘자)씨는 그의 누나들  정명화 (첼로, 한국예종 교수), 정경화 (바이올린, 줄리어드 음대 교수) 와 함께 "정트리오"로도 유명합니다. 

 정명훈씨는, 차이코프스키 콩쿨, 독일 ARD 콩쿨, 영국 리즈 콩쿨에서 입상하면서 주목을 받게 됩니다. 정명훈, 정명화, 정경화 모두 줄리어드에서 공부를 하였고, 정명훈씨는 2005년 당시 서울시장 이명박씨의 초청으로 서울시립교향악단의 지휘자로 취임 후 10년동안 서울시향의 세계적인 위상을 높혀 놓았습니다. 

*정명훈씨의 손가락을 유심히 봐주세요, 손가락 끝의 무게로 건반에 밀착되어 춤추듯이 소리를 만들어냅니다. 소리의 퀄리티가 참 영롱하고 다릅니다.
