Cho Made His First Connection With The Berliner Philharmoniker

Cho made his first connection with the Berliner Philharmoniker six years ago when he performed Ravel’s Piano Concerto as a substitute for pianist Lang Lang. Andrea Zietzschmann, president of the Berliner Philharmoniker, said at a press conference for the Berliner Philharmoniker’s performance in Korea at the opera house of the Seoul Arts Center on Tuesday, “Cho Sung-jin is a very intuitive musician. He will join the Berliner Philharmoniker as an artist-in-residence next year. I think it’s a special relationship between He will be able to show more diverse aspects as a musician.”
