Yunchan Lim, one of the most talked-about classical artists on the planet right now, has been hailed as a “One-in-a-million talent” (Dallas Morning News) and having “the potential to become a once-in-generation pianist, one who combines astounding virtuosity with interpretive depth.” (The New Yorker).

Known as the 'Classical answer to K-Pop,' he became the youngest-ever winner of the Van Cliburn Competition in June 2022. His magnetic stage presence, combined with deep musicality, has garnered him a devoted global fanbase, leading to sold-out concert halls worldwide. The public has described the teenager's performances as “visceral,” “magnetic,” and “poetic.” His blazing rendition of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.3 in Texas moved conductor Marin Alsop to tears and reached 13 million views online. The New York Times named his interpretation in the finals one of the top 10 classical performances of 2022, and The Economist stated, “Anyone needing a break from doomscrolling is advised to join the millions of listeners enthralled by Mr. Lim’s Rach 3.”

His debut studio album, Chopin Études, will release via Decca Classics on 19th April 2024.
