“Breathtaking” – Süddeutsche Zeitung
Hyeyoon Park is an artist of ‘technical brilliance and rousing virtuoso fire’ (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Her performances are marked by her ‘huge palette of tone’ and ‘expressive intonation‘ that captivates audiences worldwide (The Guardian & Coburger Tageblatt).
Her 26/27 season includes Hyeyoon’s much-anticipated return to the Wigmore Hall as well as collaborating with celebrated trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth at the Southbank Centre. She makes her debut with Dusseldorf Symphony on tour of the UK, Sinfonia Smith Square, Armenian National Philharmonic and leads a play-direct programme with the Klaipeda Chamber Orchestra. She also rejoins her long-standing chamber partners Kian Soltani, Timothy Ridout and Benjamin Grosvenor for Piano Quartet concerts across Europe.
Recent highlights include performances with City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (Florence Price), BBC Symphony Orchestra, Bursa State Symphony Orchestra, Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, Stuttgart Philharmonic, Orchester Mainz, Poznan Philharmonic, Hitzacker Festival, Heidelberger Frühling, Musikverein, Cologne Philharmonie, Zuger Sinfonietta, and Iasi Philharmonic at the Classix Festival. She has also performed with orchestras such as the Symphonieorchester des BayerischenRundfunks, hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt, Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, and Mariinsky Orchestra St Petersburg, among others.
She performed Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and premiered Sinfonia Cymru’s play-directed chamber orchestra version of the work. Other notable appearances include Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Hallé Orchestra and Royal Northern Sinfonia alongside Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Benjamin Grosvenor, praised by The Guardian for the “sweetness of tone” between Kanneh-Mason and Park. With pianist Juho Pohjonen, she toured China in a programme including Debussy’s Violin Sonata, and later appeared at London’s Southbank Centre in Verified (Young Creatives & Kate Whitley), a new work exploring authenticity and the pressures of digital life.
A passionate chamber musician, Park maintains a long-standing partnership with Kian Soltani, Timothy Ridout, and Benjamin Grosvenor. Together they have toured extensively across Europe with performances at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Luxembourg Philharmonie, and Palau de la Música Barcelona. She and Grosvenor also appear frequently at Norway’s Risør Chamber Music Festival, both as a duo and in a variety of chamber combinations. Additional recital appearances include Grieg’s Violin Sonata No. 3 at the IMUKO Festival in Koblenz, FIMUV24 in Portugal, and the Nymphenburger Sommer Festival in Munich. In 2022, Park’s debut digital release on Decca Classics commemorated Vaughan Williams’ 150th anniversary, featuring the beloved Lark Ascending in its original violin and piano scoring with pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. The recording was praised for its “soaring beauty with an almost conversational intimacy” (Record Review, BBC Radio 3), further cementing Park’s place among the most captivating violinists of her generation.
