Faculty Recital: Laurence Lesser and Minsoo Sohn

“A genuine artist, with a thoughtfully conceived and poetic interpretation.” – The New York Times

Pianist Minsoo Sohn debuts with Washington Performing Arts for a program exhibiting his undeniable musical intelligence and masterful virtuosity. Studied by the likes of Beethoven and Mozart, Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, is frequently regarded as one of the most significant works in the history of classical music. Sohn brings his own poetic interpretation to this storied collection of 24 prelude and fugue pairs, creating an unforgettable evening with one of the most audacious and influential works for piano as the centerpiece. Known for his career as a devoted pedagogue, Sohn is also recognized as the teacher of Yunchan Lim, the youngest first-prize winner in the history of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
