| MinJin was born in Korea
in 1978. Her talent was discovered when she became the youngest scholar
accepted at the Purcell School. Aged twelve she won the Premier Mozart
Competition in Italy and a Scholarship to the Royal College of Music
followed a few years later. Since then a dazzlingly successful career
has included appearances with the Berlin Symphony, the Philharmonia
and the Royal Philharmonic as well as concerts throughout Europe. Future
plans include performances of the Tchaikovsky and Sibelius concertos
and recording Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole and Sarasate's Carmen Fantasie
with the LSO. In the words of the virtuoso Ruggiero Ricci, "She is that
rare species - a born violinist". |
