After the concert, Artitsic Director CHIEN Wen-pin will invite Unsuk CHIN having an Open-talk for the audiences. The two artists will explore the advantages of the Asian DNA in the international music stage, especially its advantages and disadvantages in contemporary music, from their similar cultural and professional backgrounds.

Artists introduction
Unsuk CHIN
Composer and curator Unsuk Chin was born in 1961 in Seoul and she has lived in Germany since 1985. Chin's career has been celebrated with a series of classical music awards, so far receiving the 1985 Gaudeamus Award, the 2004 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for her Violin Concerto, the 2005 Arnold Schoenberg Prize, the 2010 Prince Pierre Foundation Music Award, the 2012 Ho-Am Prize, the 2017 Wihuri Sibelius Prize, the 2018 Kravis Prize, the 2019 Bach-Preis and the 2021 Léonie Sonning Music Prize. Her music has attracted the attention of international conductors including Sir Simon Rattle, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Kent Nagano, Gustavo Dudamel, Alan Gilbert, Myung-Whun Chung, Susanna Mälkki, David Robertson, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Hannu Lintu, Peter Eötvös, George Benjamin, and François-Xavier Roth. Regularly commissioned by leading performing organisations around the world, her music has been performed by orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, Concertgebouw, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and the Tokyo Symphony, among others. She has been Composer-in-Residence of the Lucerne Festival, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Festival d’Automne, the BBC's Total Immersion Festival, and many more.
In 2007, Chin's first opera Alice in Wonderland received its world premiere at the Bavarian State Opera, opening the Munich Opera Festival, and it was subsequently released on DVD and Blu-Ray. Portrait CDs of Chin’s music have appeared on Deutsche Grammophon, Kairos and Analekta. Chin has also been active as a concert curator, overseeing the Ars Nova series at the Seoul Philharmonic from 2006 to 2017 - a series which she founded herself, from 2011 to 2020 as Artistic Director of the Music of Today series of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London and in 2021 as Director of the Seoul Festival of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Her works are published exclusively by Boosey & Hawkes.
