About Yekwon Sunwoo, piano

Yekwon Sunwoo has been hailed for his "unfailingly consistent excellence" (International Piano) and celebrated as "a pianist who commands a comprehensive technical arsenal that allows him to thunder without breaking a sweat" (Chicago Tribune). A powerful and virtuosic performer, he also, in his own words, "strives to reach for the truth and pure beauty in music."

The first Korean Gold medallist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Yekwon's recent concert appearances include with the Macao, Armenian, Kalamazoo, and Victoria Symphonies; Slovak Philharmonic and Orchestre de Chambre de Paris; as well as a US tour with the Esme String Quartet.
