Seong-Jin Cho, piano

“To hear Cho breathe tenderness and freedom into this music while giving it a sturdy rhythmic profile was a striking thing.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Cho’s mix of imagination, pacing, balance and control produced moments of spellbinding sonic art.” (The Artsdesk)

Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho was brought to the world’s attention in 2015 when he won the First Prize at the Chopin International Competition in Warsaw.
