"Cho is a master. He displayed an impressive variety of tonal colors and remarkable technique, dispatched with jaw-dropping panache." – The Wall Street Journal
Highly sought-after soloist and Artist-in-Residence of the Berlin Philharmonic, Seong-Jin Cho, made his recital debut on the Hayes Piano Series, followed by a sold-out concert series with the National Symphony Orchestra. His assertive, tender, and colorful playing will be on full display in this exciting program at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall as he performs Ravel's full catalogue of solo piano works. Hear the delicately drawn Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn and Menuet antique, the suite of eight Valses nobles et sentimentales, and much more. The Guardian praises Cho: "… his passagework gleamingly precise, his sound ranging from staggering softness to luminous Steinway shine."
