Aristo Sham in Seoul: Bach, Busoni & Brahms

Streaming live from the Seoul Arts Center, pianist Aristo Sham, Gold Medallist of the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, presents a programme exploring musical connections across the centuries. Busoni’s transcriptions of Bach, Brahms and Chopin open the recital, showing how a 20th-century modernist reshaped the classics. The second half turns to Brahms himself — from the private world of the Klavierstücke to the youthful sweep of the Sonata No. 1 in C major. A panoramic programme that showcases the virtuosity and artistry of a pianist on the cusp of a major career.
