— Mestermøte mellom to kontinenter.

Han spiller for utsolgte hus både i Asia og Europa og regnes blant Sør-Koreas lysende, klassiske stjernepianister. For aller første gang får vi oppleve sør-koreanske Jae-Yeon Won i Norge — som har invitert med seg noen av sine fremste kolleger fra hjemlandet.

Kveldens program drar linjer fra det eventyrlige, folkemusikalske i både Schumann, Kodály og Ravel — og frem til konsertens ubestridte hovedverk: Faurés mesterlige pianokvartett i c-moll. Velkommen til det aller fremste fra to kontinenter!

  ​​Jae-Yeon Won possesses a uniquely captivating sound that sets him apart as an exceptional musician of his generation. His career began to take shape after his success at the 61st Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition. He currently divides his time between Austria and South Korea.

  Dang Thai Son and Kevin Kenner, who greatly praised Jae-Yeon Won’s performance, became his musical mentors along with his affiliation with Maria João Pires. His artistic foundation lies in his sensibility and intelligence. He has been performing in renowned venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, Herkulessaal, Beethoven-Haus, Alte Aula Heidelberg, Wiener Saal in Salzburg, Salle Cortot, Salle Gaveau, Opéra Comique in Paris, Palacio de la Ópera in A Coruña, Auditorio de Ferrol, Teatro Ricardo Castro in Durango, Seoul Arts Center, and Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul, among others.

  ​​His performances have led to appearances and re-invitations with Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orquestra Sinfonica de Galicia, Das Haydn-Orchestra, Westsächsischen Symphonieorchester, Bari Province Symphony Orchestra, Leipzig Musikhochschule orchester, Quartetto di Cremona, Taipei Philharmonic Orchestra, Korean Symphony Orchestra, KBS Symphony Orchestra and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.

  Arko Ensemble in Europe is a programme launched in 2024 by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea and supported by the Arts Council Korea. It was established to support young Korean classical musicians under the age of 34 who are studying or residing in Europe.
