Live from Wigmore Hall: the violinst Esther Yoo is joined by the pianist Jae Hong Park for sonatas by Debussy and Grieg.

The youngest ever winner of the Sibelius International Violin Competition, the American violinist Esther Yoo was described by The Strad magazine as β€œthe model of a violin soloist in the modern age.” A former Radio 3 New Generation Artist, she now enjoys solo engagements with some of the world's leading orchestras and conductors. But chamber music remains an important part of her artistic make-up. Esther Yoo is partnered at London's Wigmore Hall today by the South Korean pianist Jae Hong Park, winner of the 2021 Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition.
