Brilliant, exciting, and an acclaimed pianist who has made a significant international name for himself, Seong-Jin Cho was brought to world attention in 2015 when he won First Prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. Four years earlier, aged only 17, he had won 3rd Prize at the Tchaikovsky Competition (Moscow).
With his overwhelming talent and natural musicality, he is considered one of the most captivating artists of his generation. His concert in Silicon Valley takes place on his 24th birthday,* and an eager crowd is looking forward to hearing him in this breakout year, when in addition to touring with the Berlin Philharmonic to substitute for an ailing Lang Lang, he released his much-anticipated new CD of Debussy to great critical acclaim.
A perfect end to Memorial Day weekend, Steinway Society is pleased to present this grand finale to their 23rd season.
* May 28th is Cho Seong-Jin’s 24th birthday. No gifts or balloons are allowed in the theater, but if you wish to bring a birthday card, it will be collected and presented to the pianist.
