Yunchan Lim in recital: Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky

Since rocking the classical music firmament by becoming, at a preternaturally assured 18, the youngest artist ever to win the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022, South Korean pianist Yunchan Lim has continued to receive unanimous praise for his sold-out concerts and studio recordings. In his highly anticipated Verbier Festival debut, he performs a soulful Romantic program, making the piano sing in Mendelssohn's lyrical Songs without Words, taking us through all twelve months of Tchaikovsky's atmospheric cycle The Seasons, and immersing us in one of the most beloved programmatic works ever composed: Mussorgsky's stately, effortlessly evocative Pictures at an Exhibition.
