The First Performance After Gangdong Cultural Foundation Launch: 'Son Yeol-eum Piano Recital'

On the 20th at 5 PM at Gangdong Art Center Grand Theater Hangang

[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The Gangdong Cultural Foundation will hold a recital by pianist Son Yeol-eum at 5 p.m. on the 20th at the Gangdong Art Center Grand Theater Hangang as its first performance since the foundation's launch.

The Gangdong Cultural Foundation was launched in January this year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has consecutively canceled scheduled performances and exhibitions. This time, by conducting Son Yeol-eum's piano recital with spaced seating, the foundation plans to begin its full-scale activities.

Son Yeol-eum gained worldwide attention by winning second place at the 14th International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in 2011, along with the Best Performance Award for Mozart Concerto and the Best Performance Award for the commissioned competition piece. Recently, she has been actively engaged in various chamber music performances and collaborations, as well as serving as the artistic director of the PyeongChang Daegwallyeong International Music Festival. However, this is her first solo recital in four years. So far, Son Yeol-eum has held only two solo recitals, in 2013 and 2016.

In this performance, Son Yeol-eum will play Chopin's "Ballade No. 2," Brahms' "6 Piano Pieces," and Schumann's "Arabeske" and "Kreisleriana."
