"Min-Jung is an exceptionally talented pianist, with a wonderfully controlled and even technique, combined with a highly sensitive approach to the music." Ruggiero Ricci British pianist Min-Jung Kym has a widely-recognised reputation for her diverse range of styles and repertoire as a soloist, duo and chamber musician. A former Purcell School scholar, Min-Jung made her London solo concert debut at the age of twelve with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. Her numerous prizes and awards include the British Young Pianist of the Year, Ettlingen International and the YMFE competitions. As a scholar at the Royal Academy of Music, she studied with Christopher Elton and graduated with the Eric Brough and Elsie Horne prizes, in recognition of her outstanding concerto and recital performances in her final year. Further recognition was given in 2009 when Min-Jung was awarded the Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM), an honour bestowed to alumni of the Royal Academy of Music, who have distinguished themselves in the music profession and made significant contribution to it in their particular field. Min-Jung's interpretations have been enjoyed in the USA, Europe and throughout Britain at venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, Purcell Room, St John Smith's Square and De Montfort Hall in Leicester. She has also appeared at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Cheltenham Festival and the Broadwood International Piano Festival. Min-Jung is the pianist of choice for the masterclasses for legendary violinist, Ruggiero Ricci, and has enjoyed successful collaborations with violinists Pierre Amoyal and Sergey Levitin with whom she gave a highly-acclaimed Wigmore recital, the renowned Haffner Ensemble, and the Molto Musica Ensemble. This season will mark the start of her collaboration with Zsolt-Tihamer Visontay, the newly appointed leader of the Philharmonia Orchestra. A regular invitee at Music Societies and Festivals throughout the UK, her versatility combined with a subtlety of technique, are widely appreciated. Following a highly successful debut performing Beethoven Concerto No. 4 in 2008 with the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra, Steinway Artist Min-Jung Kym will return to make further appearances with the Philharmonia in the forthcoming season.
