Yunchan Lim and Marin Alsop Reunite in Seoul to Perform Their "Legendary Rach 3" Again Four Years Later

[Financial News] On June 17, 2022, in Fort Worth, Texas, 18-year-old Yunchan Lim took the stage in the final round of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and performed Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 under the baton of Marin Alsop, one of the world's leading female conductors.
The performance left a lasting impression on music fans, including the moment when Alsop was seen in tears after it ended. Lim went on to become the youngest winner in the competition. This November, four years later, the two will reunite in Seoul to perform the same piece.
According to mocproduction on the 29th, Yunchan Lim will appear as the soloist in the Philadelphia Orchestra's performances in Seoul from November 5 to 9.
Alsop, who will be visiting Korea for the first time, will conduct the performances. This will be Lim's first performance of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in Korea since winning the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
The conductor and piece are the same, but the performance is bound to be different after four years. For audiences who remember Lim from the competition's final round, it will be an opportunity to hear the experience he has accumulated and his more profound interpretation.
There is also keen interest in the musical chemistry Lim and Alsop will create with the Philadelphia Orchestra this time. The orchestra had a close relationship with Sergei Rachmaninoff during his lifetime.
Meanwhile, tickets for "Philadelphia Orchestra & Marin Alsop with Yunchan Lim" will go on sale at 2 p.m. on the 30th. Tickets can be purchased through the Lotte Concert Hall website and NOL.
