Min-Jung Kym has acquired a widely-recognised reputation for her diverse range of styles and repertoire as a soloist, duo and chamber musician.
A former Purcell School scholar, Min-Jung made her London solo concert debut at the age of twelve with the National Symphony Orchestra. A scholar at the Royal Academy of Music, Min-Jung graduated with the Eric Brough and Elsie Horne prizes. Further recognition was given in 2009 when Min-Jung was awarded the Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM), an honour bestowed to alumni of the Royal Academy of Music, who have distinguished themselves in the music profession and made a significant contribution to it in their particular field.
Min-Jung's interpretations have been enjoyed in the USA, Europe and throughout Britain. She has performed at venues that include the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, Purcell Room, St John Smith's Square, De Montfort Hall, Brighton Dome, and the Queen’s Theatre. She has also appeared at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Cheltenham Festival, the Broadwood International Piano Festival and also at the Chichester Festivities, where she performed Beethoven Concerto No.4 with the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra to critical acclaim.
Min-Jung is the pianist of choice for the masterclasses of the legendary violinist, Ruggiero Ricci, and has enjoyed successful collaborations including the Haffner Ensemble, Pierre Amoyal and Adrian Brendel. With the concertmaster of the Royal Opera House, Sergey Levitin, Min-Jung gave a Wigmore recital which was followed by a critically acclaimed performance of the Mendelssohn Double Concerto under the baton of Barry Wordsworth where her performance was described as 'impeccable ... there seems no doubt that young pianist Kym is destined for the big-time'.
