Pianist Cho Seong-Jin has been appointed as the artist-in-residence of the prestigious Berlin Philharmonic for the 2024-25 season, as announced on the orchestra's website.
During his residency, Cho will present five programs in collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic, including chamber music concerts, solo recitals, and performances featuring the complete piano works of Maurice Ravel.
Cho made history in October 2015 by becoming the first Korean and the third Asian to win the International Chopin Piano Competition.
In an interview with the Berlin Philharmonic, Cho expressed his delight at becoming the artist-in-residence, stating that he had the opportunity to curate the program according to his preferences.
Regarding his plan to perform all of Ravel’s piano works in one evening, Cho acknowledged the challenge but emphasized his long-held dream of presenting such a program.
