Seong-Jin Cho
piano
“Seong-Jin Cho is a master. He displayed an impressive variety of tonal colors and remarkable technique, dispatched with jaw-dropping panache. He had something to say and communicated it well,” was the verdict of the [Wall Street Journal] on the pianist, who was born in Seoul in 1994. With his natural musicality, Cho delighted audiences at his first public concert at the age of just 11. He came to the attention of the international music world when he won first prize at the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2015. Since then, Cho, who also studied in Paris, has performed in prestigious concert halls – and of course with the Berliner Philharmoniker. In 2017, he made his debut alongside Sir Simon Rattle with Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto and performed with Kirill Petrenko as part of the orchestra’s tour of Asia. In the 2024/25 season, he will be the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Artist in Residence.
