Inmo Yang

Launching the season on a high note with his sold-out BBC Proms debut with Marie Jacquot and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the 2025/26 season sees several debut appearances with Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, Münchner Symphoniker, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, SWR Symphonieorchester, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, and Macao Orchestra. During this season, he returns to BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Festival Strings Lucerne for a subscription debut following their successful Asia tour a year prior, as well as Carnegie Hall for chamber music concert with Kirill Gerstein.

Yang’s solo career has brought him to major stages around the world, performing with the New York Philharmonic, LA Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Dresdner Philharmonie, Berliner Barock Solisten on tour, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra among others. He has collaborated with many of today’s most esteemed conductors, including Marin Alsop, Myung-whun Chung, Roberto Gonzales-Monjas, Hannu Lintu, Tianyi Lu, Fabio Luisi, Jonathan Nott, Sakari Oramo, Kristiina Poska, John Storgårds, Osmo Vänskä, and Jaap van Zweden.

He first captured global attention by winning the 2015 Premio Paganini Competition in Genoa—the first prize awarded since 2006—where he also received special distinctions for best performance of a contemporary piece and audience favorite. In 2022, he further solidified his standing with the First Prize at the Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki.

Inmo released his second Deutsche Grammophon album The Genetics of Strings in 2021. His debut album—24 Caprices by N. Paganini—was recorded live as part of the Kumho Art Hall residency and released under the same label in 2019.

Inmo studied with Namyoon Kim at Korea National University of Arts, Miriam Fried at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, and Antje Weithaas both at Kronberg Academy and Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, where he currently resides in.

Inmo Yang plays a violin made by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù in Cremona in 1743, known as the “Carrodus,” on generous loan from a member of the Stretton Society.
