Biographies

Seong-Jin Cho

In October 2015, the Korean pianist won first prize at the 17th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw – and his live recording made it to number one in the pop charts with over three million albums sold. With an unmistakable touch, poetic and grippingly virtuoso interpretations and his own unique sound. Seong-Jin Cho sees his main task as “understanding the composer, his music, his language and his emotions better and better”, which is why he is constantly developing his interpretations. This is the “most fascinating part of being a musician, everything is a lifelong journey in which I find my own interpretation and my own voice”.

Seong-Jin Cho, who gave his first public concert at the age of eleven and studied with Michel Béroff at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, made his acclaimed debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2017. In the same year, he toured Asia with the orchestra and Simon Rattle as a stand-in for Lang Lang, followed by the next joint concert tour to South Korea and Japan under Kirill Petrenko in 2023. This season, the “poet at the piano” (Simon Rattle) presents the most diverse facets of his skills as Artist in Residence in concerts with the orchestra and in various chamber music ensembles.
