Masterclass – 11am start

The event is free to everyone but please book here to give us an idea of numbers.

We open this season’s Piano Series with a free masterclass by prodigious Korean pianist, Minkyu Kim.  He will be playing excerpts from and discussing his programme for the evening recital, which will include works by Beethoven, Liszt and Onac.  This is an ideal opportunity for pianists to meet and observe a really special talent at the top of his craft. Tell all your keyboard playing friends!

Minkyu Kim was born in South Korea in 1995. He studied pianoforte with Soo-Jeong Jeong at Goyang High School of Arts and with Hyung-Joon Chang and Sehee Kim at Seoul National University, as well as harpsichord with Joohee Oh. After graduating summa cum laude in 2017, he began his studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on a full scholarship from the ABRSM. Whilst studying for his MMus, he has received a number of internal and external prizes, including the first prizes of the Bamber Galloway Piano Competition, the BPSE intercollegiate competition, and the Liszt Society Competition. 

He is currently studying for a Doctor of Performance at the RCS with Professor Aaron Shorrand Sinae Lee, on a full scholarship. As a pianist, he has given several recitals, mainly in Korea and the UK.  As a music scholar, he has recently taken over much of the editing of the Liszt Society Journal, and is preparing a complete thematic catalogue of works of Franz Liszt with Dr. Leslie Howard and Aidan Módica.
