Minsoo Sohn

**Minsoo Sohn** is a South Korean-born classical pianist celebrated for his technical brilliance and thoughtful interpretations. A winner of the prestigious Honens International Piano Competition (2006), Sohn has built a career balancing dazzling virtuosity with deep musical curiosity. His discography reflects this range, from ambitious projects like his *Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas* cycle to intimate French repertoire collections (*Bucoliques: French Music III*) and sparkling Liszt transcriptions. A protegé of legendary pianist Leon Fleisher, Sohn brings both scholarly rigor and emotional resonance to everything from Bach’s *Goldberg Variations* to lesser-known Romantic gems.

When he’s not performing at major venues worldwide or collaborating with top orchestras, Sohn shares his passion as a professor at Michigan State University’s College of Music. Fans love how he makes complex works feel fresh – whether he’s unpacking Beethoven’s drama or finding unexpected colors in Debussy. His *Honens Laureate Series* recordings showcase exactly why he’s become a go-to pianist for listeners who crave both pyrotechnics and poetry at the keys.
