Seong-Jin Cho

The early talent of South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho was revealed with his victory at the International Chopin Competition and has since been consolidated as one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation. Still in his teens, Seong-Jin Cho, whom conductor Simon Rattle described as ‘a poet at the piano’, drew up a list of repertoire he wished to learn before the age of forty, and has already performed half of the works he considered fundamental to his artistic growth. His greatest aim, however, is the pursuit of musical consistency, enhanced by superb virtuosity and luminous lyricism. Photo © Ben Wolf Sponsor Piano Series Sponsor Gulbenkian Music
