Sarah Soyeon Kim - Schumann and Brahms

Sarah Soyeon Kim

Sarah Soyeon Kim had to leave a lot to become what she is now: a much praised, promising pianist. At the age of sixteen she left her native South Korea to study piano in London. But it was worth it: "My passion for the piano has only increased."

Sarah Soyeon Kim has won many awards at international piano competitions. The audience is enthusiastic. Just one example: in Berlin, at the Berliner Philharmoniker Philharmonie, Sarah gave a recital and played two Mozart piano concertos. Afterwards she received a long standing ovation.

Sarah Soyeon Kim was born in Seoul. She was taught by Bernd Goetzke at the University for Music Theatre and Media in Hanover, Germany. Before that she studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School, as the youngest student at the Royal Academy of Music London and then in France at the École Normale de Musique de Paris

Now for about a year, starting January 2013, Sarah Soyeon Kim is working at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover in Germany. From there she gives many piano recitals

Listen to one of the world's most beautiful grand pianosSarah

Soyeon Kim plays on one of the world's most beautiful grand pianos in the new Edesche Concert Hall: the Bösendorfer Imperial 290. This grand piano, extended to eight octaves, is almost 3 metres long, and partly because of that gives a beautiful sound. In the Netherlands this concert grand piano can only be found in the new Edesche Concert Hall. Anna Tyshayeva, the first pianist in our 'World Pianists' series, remarked about this grand piano: "Real excellent", Wibi Soerjadi about the combination with this concert hall: "phenomenal acoustics" and others: "everything is perfect". After his first concert in the Edesche Concert Hall, Jan Vayne was extremely enthusiastic: "Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful grand piano/organ!

Edesche Concert Hall is busy with its first season, the try out season. Completely unsubsidized, a beautiful concert hall, very suitable for chamber music, has been created in a short period of time. The Edesche Concert Hall is worth a visit, both for the Edanese audience and for visitors from all over the Netherlands. Both by car and public transport centrally located and very easy to reach.
