It’s a vivid celebration of violas as critically acclaimed violist Sangjin Kim collaborates with YST students to perform a diverse programme – from well-loved classics to fascinating arrangements and original compositions by Sangjin himself. Described as “a poised, appealing performer with rock-solid technique, warm, powerful, variable tone and a simple direct expressiveness” (Strings Magazine), Sangjin is a winner of several international solo and chamber music competitions and tours the United States, Europe, and Asia in more than 70 performances a year. A former member of the International Sejong Soloists and Kumho Asiana String Quartet, Mr. Kim is frequently featured as a soloist with major symphony orchestras in Korea. He is a founding member of the vibrant M.I.K. Ensemble, celebrated as one of the leading quartets in the classical music scene. Upon receiving the Presidential Award in 2001, one of the highest civilian awards in Korea, he was subsequently designated an Ambassador of Culture in honour of his achievements. Supported by the Kris Foundation Viola Masterclass Fund. Don't miss Sangjin Kim's masterclass at YST on 1 Oct! Admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
