Welcome to this special concert featuring the baritone Claudio Jung and pianist Grace Yeo at the Korean Cultural Centre UK.

The concert is a pre-event for Jung’s 2018 Korea & UK recital tour. Claudio Jung has previously presented recitals at Carnegie Hall, New York in 2016, as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, 2015.

For this UK showcase, pianist Grace Yeo, 2009 winner of the Beethoven Society of Europe’s Piano Competition will join Jung to perform pieces by some of our favourite European composers including Schubert, Beethoven and Strauss. At the end of the concert, special guest Eunsun Lee will perform a piece of Korean dance Jeju-Haenyeo, The Deep Sea Inside a Girl’ inspired by the story of the Korean female divers, the Haenyeo.
