Seong-Jin Cho was brought to the world’s attention in October 2015 when he won First Prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. Four years earlier, aged only 17, he won Third Prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. With his overwhelming talent and natural musicality, Seong-Jin is rapidly embarking on a world-class career and is considered one of the most distinctive artists of his generation. Born in 1994 in Seoul, he started studying the piano at age 6 and gave his first public recital five years later. In 2008, he won the First Prize at the 6th Moscow International Frederick Chopin Competition, and in 2009, he won the First Prize at the 7th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan (youngest winner in its history). Seong-Jin has performed with some of the world’s major orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Mariinsky Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, and Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, among others. Since 2012, Seong-Jin has been living in Paris. After studying with Prof. S.R. Park, S.J. Shin in Seoul, he studied with Michel Béroff at Paris Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique.
