-Presentation: When we listen to piano performance , we can feel that the anguish of the pianist is transmitted indirectly. As if we watch a heart breaking ending of a movie that leaves lingering traces in our memory and creates an everlasting impression. That’s exactly what most performances of Sun-wook Kim feels like. Sun-wook Kim began studying the piano at the very early age of three. He gave his debut recital aged ten and was a student at the Korea National University of Arts under Daejin Kim. At that time, he won the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006, aged 18, becoming the competitions' youngest winner in 40 years, as well as its first Asian winner. Through this competition, he began to gain attention worldwide and performed at well-known classical music halls around the world. After getting the grueling schedule to perform worldwide, he decided to come to the UK to study conducting. He also worked as a pianist while conducting command study. He also received an MA degree for conduction from Royal Academy of Music at London in 2013. In an interview, Sun-wook Kim said that he wanted to play the piano with no prejudice but honesty. Also, he said that he was meeting the audiences by doing these wishes every day. As much as he has considered and tried it, his performance will be more expressive and deepen as the days go by.
