MinJin
Violin
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".
