About

Seong-Jin Cho (Korean: 조성진; born May 28, 1994) is a South Korean concert pianist. He was the winner of the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition, the first from his country. Since then, he has regularly performed recital programs in major venues and with the world's foremost orchestras as a soloist. Cho signed with Deutsche Grammophon in 2016, under which he has released seven studio albums and one live recording. He is the Artist in Residence of the Berlin Philharmonic for the 2024–25 season. Cho was born in Seoul, South Korea, the only child of non-musical parents; his father was an engineer. At six years old, he began studying both the piano and the violin. Though he appeared to have more natural facility on the latter, he developed a stronger liking for the piano, and gave his first public piano recital at age eleven. After being identified through a musical prodigy development program at the Seoul Arts Center, he began studying under Sook-Ryeon Park at Sunchon National University and Soo-Jung Shin at Seoul National University. He attended the Yewon School, a private middle school for art education, during which he won First Prize at both the Moscow International Fryderyk Chopin Competition for Young Pianists (2008) and the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition (2009). Cho then attended Seoul Arts High School for two years, during which he placed third at the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition and began performing regularly with Myung-whun Chung and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. Cho moved to Paris in 2012 to study at the Conservatoire de Paris with Michel Béroff.
