Seong-Jin Cho, 21-year-old pianist from South Korea, after his success at the 17th International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition started a world tour with the concert with the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice (10/30/2015). He also gave concerts in Wroclaw, Poznan, Krakow, Paris, Amsterdam, Beijing, Tokyo ... On March 1, Seong-Jin Cho will return to Warsaw, where he will perform a recital on the occasion of the 206th anniversary of Frederic Chopin’s birth.

The stunning success, that Seong-Jin Cho’s recording, published Nov. 6, 2015 by Deutsche Grammophon, achieved, sold in quantities of more than 110 thousand copies, as well as the unprecedented interest in the Korean pianist’s concerts around the world, is the most beautiful reward, not only for the winner but also for the Fryderyk Chopin Institute - the organizer of the contest.
