HKS Recital Series: Sunwook Kim Piano Recital | Hong Kong SinfoniettaHong Kong Sinfonietta

Three spellbinding works by Austro-German giants Haydn, Schumann and Schubert illuminate this recital by Korean piano virtuoso Sunwook Kim, prior to his concert with Hong Kong Sinfonietta on 28 Sep. A frequent guest of such prestigious orchestras and venues as the Berlin Philharmonic, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Seoul Arts Centre, Sunwook Kim has established himself as one of the finest pianists in today’s music scene since winning the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006, as the competition’s youngest ever and first Asian winner. He will open this recital with Haydn’s sparkling Piano Sonata in E-flat, before presenting Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze – an intimate collection of 18 riveting character pieces juxtaposing voices of impetuousness and poeticism. Schubert’s extraordinary Piano Sonata in B-flat – the last piano work he ever completed – will conclude the evening.
