BIOGRAPHY

One of Korea’s best kept secrets, HJ Lim has arrived and redefines both the musical and physical boundaries of modern pianism.

In November 2009, HJ exploded onto the international music scene when a recital at the Stadtcasino Basel, which included Rachmaninov’s complete Etudes-Tableaux and Chopin’s complete Etudes, was uploaded to YouTube. The unprecedented online traffic captured the imagination of the industry and audiences around the world.

In August 2010, HJ performed the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas over eight consecutive days in Paris and one year later she recorded the complete cycle for EMI Classics with whom she now records exclusively.

Upcoming concerto appearances include performances with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio at Zurich's Tonhalle, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, Münchner Symphoniker, Bilkent Symphony, Hofer Symphoniker, Orquestra Sinfónica Metropolitana as well as recital tours of the UK and South America.
