SEJONG SOLOISTS

ABOUT THE SEJONG SOLOISTS

Hailed as “one of the top ensembles of today” by CNN, Sejong Soloists have established themselves as a first-class string orchestra, performing close to 350 concerts on major stages around the world. Envisioned fifteen years ago as a “young cultural ambassador” by Artistic Director Hyo Kang, a renowned violin professor at Yale University and the Juilliard School, he invited fourteen individually distinguished young musicians from eight different nations – Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States – to form Sejong Soloists. Since then, this unique conductor-less string orchestra has performed in 100 cities across the United States, Europe, and Asia, recorded six highly acclaimed albums and has premiered seven new works.

Renowned for their exceptional dynamic style with ranges of quartet-like precision to full orchestra-like resonance, highlights of Sejong Soloists’ past seasons include appearances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Cadogan Hall in London, Salle Gaveau in Paris, Suntory Hall in Japan, Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, England, Seoul Arts Center in Korea, the National Arts Theatre in Taiwan; residencies at the Aspen Music Festival and the Great Mountains Music Festival in Korea. National Public Radio’s Performance Today and European Broadcasting Union regularly broadcast Sejong Soloists’ performances annually. The ensemble has also made special appearances on various CNN programs hosted by Paula Zahn.
