Sukyeon Kim / Klavierabend

Stupendous technique and great expressiveness

Sukyeon Kim is one of the most promising pianists of the younger generation. Her playing is distinctive for its stupendous technique and great expressiveness. Even at a young age, she was already winning prizes in various competitions. Her broad repertoire includes works from the baroque to the modern. Her piano recital in the Elbphilharmonie also demonstrates a great versatility: Kim juxtaposes Chopin’s 24 Préludes with those of Scriabin, complementing the programme with some etudes by Kapustin, which are strongly influenced by jazz.
