2022 Cliburn Gold Medalist
2024 Gramophone Artist of the Year

Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 7:30PM

Matthews Theatre
1 hour and 20 minutes, no intermission

The South Korean classical pianist Yunchan Lim performs with both the technical brilliance and heartfelt emotion of an artist who has already dedicated their life to music. In 2022, he became the youngest person ever to win gold at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, where he was also honored with the Audience Award and Best Performance of a New Work. His star is quickly rising— a recording of his final appearance at the Cliburn Competition (Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3) has racked up millions of views on YouTube.
