About

At the end of two grueling weeks of the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, the final pianist standing was the only one who would have been too young to compete if the event had been held in 2021 as planned: Yunchan Lim of South Korea, just 18 years of age and possessed of a flabbergasting technical command and a preternaturally mature artistic sensibility. His confident and note-perfect readings of notoriously difficult repertoire culminated in a performance of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 that moved even conductor Marin Alsop to tears, winning him top honors—as well as the Audience Prize presented by medici.tv—and an instant international reputation as one of the finest pianists alive.
