Seong-Jin Cho live in Munich

Experience Seong-Jin Cho live on December 18th

Seong-Jin Cho, the South Korean classical pianist who gained international recognition after winning the First Prize at the 2015 International Chopin Competition, will perform at Herkulessaal in Munich on December 18, 2026. Cho is noted for his poetic and nuanced interpretations, particularly of Romantic composers like Chopin and Debussy, characterized by a refined touch, clarity of articulation, and a deeply expressive quality. While proficient in a broad repertoire, his performances often emphasize lyrical beauty and emotional depth over virtuosic display.

Herkulessaal is a prominent concert hall located within the Residenz Palace in Munich, Germany. Originally constructed as the royal court theatre between 1763 and 1765 under Maximilian III Joseph, it underwent significant Neoclassical redesigns by Cuvilliés the Elder in the late 18th century. Damaged during World War II, it was meticulously reconstructed between 1953 and 1957, restoring its opulent interior featuring stucco work and frescoes. Today, Herkulessaal is renowned for its excellent acoustics and serves as a key venue for classical music performances by leading orchestras and soloists.
