Inmo Yang

Violin

  • South Korean violinist Inmo Yang’s beguiling sound is imbued with poetry and underpinned by unwavering technical prowess which quickly brought him to some of the most prestigious stages in the world including New York Philharmonic and the LA Phil in the upcoming season and Orchestre National de France, BBC Symphony Orchestra, and Carnegie Hall in the previous seasons.

  • The 24/25 season opens with Asia tour with Berliner Barock Solisten and a return to Oulu Symphony Orchestra for their Prokofiev Festival, followed by several important debuts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Tampere Philharmonia, Dresdner Philharmonie, and BBC Philharmonic. He also returns to Seoul Philharmonic under their chief conductor Jaap van Zweden for a concert in Abu Dhabi, Richmond Symphony, and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande before they embark on a tour to Korea at the end of the season.


    In previous seasons, Inmo appeared with many renowned orchestras including Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra with leading conductors such as Marin Alsop, Myung-whun Chung, James Gaffigan, Neeme Järvi, Hannu Lintu, Fabio Luisi, Sakari Oramo, David Robertson, John Storgårds, and Osmo Vänskä.


    He is the first prize winner of both the 2015 International Violin Competition ‘Premio Paganini’ in Genoa, Italy, and the 2022 Jean Sibelius Violin Competition. It was the first time since 2006 that the Paganini Competition jury awarded First Prize and Fabio Luisi, the chair of the jury at the time, commented: ‘Inmo is an intuitive musician. His Paganini is captivating and exquisite.’


    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 plays on a violin by G. B. Guadagnini of Turin kindly loaned by Jane Ng through J & A Beare and the Beare’s International Violin Society for The International Jean Sibelius Violin Competition.

'Yang displayed a depth of musical feeling beyond the technique one expects to hear from competition winners such as he. The sweetness of his tone, the elegance of his bow work and the accuracy of his intonation were much to be admired.'

Chicago Tribune

'Don’t judge Inmo Yang’s second DG release The Genetics of Strings as just another 'concept' album of mixed composers and styles until you’ve experienced the organic and fluent trajectory of his program building, not to mention his ardent and intense violin mastery.'
