Seong-Jin Cho captured the classical music world’s attention in October 2015 when he won First Prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. Four years before he had won 3rd Prize at the Tchaikovsky competition, aged only 17. In November 2009 he won the 1st prize at the 7th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan, becoming the youngest winner in its history. With his overwhelming talent and natural musicality, Seong-Jin Cho is rapidly embarking on a world-class career and is considered one of the most distinctive artists of his generation.
Backtrack magazine acclaims Cho with “an enviable ability to make every note sound distinct and clear, shaping and balancing each phrase perfectly.” Last season, he performed his competition-winning piece at Soka with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and helped to sell out the concert.
