About

A shipwreck, a young princess, the sea and Sinbad’s ship—the many tales of 1001 Arabian Nights come to life in Rimsky-Korsakov’s vivid symphonic poem Scheherazade. With sensuous violin solos standing in for the legendary storyteller, “Rimsky” weaves a sumptuous, richly hued tapestry. Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Music Director Laureate Robert Spano presents the young powerhouse Jae Hong Park, winner of the 2021 Busoni International Piano Competition, in a delightful rarity by Scriabin and opens the program with Sibelius’ enigmatic Tapiola, a tone poem inspired by the fiercely rugged Scandinavian wilderness.

Pianist Jae Hong Park is praised for his mesmerizing virtuosity and astounding stage presence. Described as “fearless” and “meticulous” artist, Jae Hong has emerged as one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation with his triumph from 2021 Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition, where he not only received the first-prize but also four special prizes. He also won several piano competitions in the past few years; he is the winner of the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition for Young Artists and the Cleveland International Piano Competition for Young Artists. He is also the Finalist Prize winner at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Masters Competition and is a laureate of Ettlingen International Competition, Hilton Head International Piano Competition and many others. 

Jae Hong gave successful international debut at the age of 15 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has also held his debut-recital at the Frick Collection in New York as well as in Amsterdam and Utrecht in Netherlands. He has performed recitals in many countries including Italy, Poland, Spain, Romania, Luxembourg, and the United States. As a soloist, he has performed with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Jerusalem Camerata, Utah Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra to name a few, and worked with leading conductors such as Tung-Chieh Chuang, James Feddeck, Massimo Zanetti, Omer Meir Wellber, Avner Biron, Arvo Volmer and many others. 

Upcoming highlights include solo recitals at Leipzig Gewandhaus, Munich Herkulessaal, London Steinway Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus as well as recital tour in Italy. He will collaborate with the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) under the baton of maestro Gianandrea Noseda, Gyeonggi Philharmonic Orchestra with Maestro Myung-Whun Chung, I Pomeriggi Musicali Orchestra, Orchestra Haydn, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Verona, and the Orchestra Toscanini. He would also be featured at the Festival Olympus, Tongyeong International Music Festival, and many other Festivals. He had been awarded with a ‘Special Prize for Chamber Music’ at the Busoni Competition and will go on tour with the Schumann Quartet during the season 2022/2023. 

Jae Hong released his first CD-Recording with Universal Music in February 2022, and it features L. v. Beethoven; Hammerklavier Sonata, F. Busoni; 10 Variationen über ein Präludium von Chopin, and J. S.Bach-F. Busoni; “Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme”.
