World-class pianist Cho Seong-jin transformed into a "piano teacher." The occasion was a master class held at the rehearsal room of the Tongyeong International Music Hall on the 29th. The class was part of the young artist development program at the Tongyeong International Music Festival, which opened on the 27th and runs through the 5th of next month.
Although Cho carves out time from his packed international schedule to perform on Korean stages every year, master classes have been rare. The only previous one in Korea was held two years ago to mark the 30th anniversary of Credia. What made this class even more special was that Cho himself proposed it. The initiative suggests his growing interest in sharing the musical depth and experience he has accumulated over the 11 years since winning the Chopin Competition with the next generation.
