Pianist Ji Yong Kim @ NEC's Burnes Hall at the new Saint Botolph Building – Free Admission

Pianist Ji Yong Kim will perform 8/22, 7:30 pm at NEC’s Burnes Hall of the new Saint Botolph Building, 255 Saint Botolph Street, Boston. Program includes Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Variations and Fugue for Piano in E-flat major “ Eroica”, and Schumann’s Carnaval Op. 9.

Ji Yong Kim was the youngest musician to win the New York Philharmonic Young Artist Competition at the age of 10, and subsequently performed with maestro Kurt Masur. Since then, he has given recitals worldwide and appeared as soloist with numerous orchestras including the Toronto Symphony among others. In 2016, Ji Yong came to international attention before a televised audience of millions in the highly unconventional Android® commercial that premiered during the 2016 Grammy® Awards. His ‘monotune’ performance of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata on dual pianos was so compelling that People Magazine declared Ji Yong Kim “the real star of the Grammy”. In 2017, the Warner Classics released his debut album “Bach’s Goldberg Variations”. Admission Free. Donation $10 at door. Age 6 and under not admitted.
