Pianist Yeol Eum Son makes her Danish National Symphony Orchestra debut on 9 October. She lends her nuanced playing and great dramatic power to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466. Pietari Inkinen conducts the programme that also includes Respighi’s Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome.
Yeol Eum Son and Pietari Inkinen first collaborated in September 2021 with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie for a broadcast performance of Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto. They have since collaborated on multiple occasions, including a concert in Saarbrücken followed by a South Korean tour in September 2023, featuring Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3.
Yeol Eum Son is known for poetic elegance, expressive nuance, and electrifying contrasts in performances that span repertoire from Bach and Mozart to Shchedrin and Kapustin. Praised for her refined artistry and flawless technical control, she is in high demand worldwide as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician, collaborating with conductors including Antonio Pappano, Roberto González-Monjas, Jonathon Heyward, Ryan Bancroft, Maxim Emelyanychev, Jaime Martin, Andrew Manze, Alexander Shelley and Omer Meir Welber.
Additional debuts of her 2025/26 season include her recent acclaimed performance with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and forthcoming concerts with Swedish Radio, and São Paulo State Symphony Orchestras. She will also return to the BBC Symphony, Scottish Chamber, and Singapore Symphony.
