HarrisonParrott welcomes violinist Seohyun Kim to its roster for worldwide management. Seohyun was revealed as a rising star on the international stage when she became the youngest-ever winner of the 2023 Tibor Varga International Competition at the age of 14. Before this, she had already won the first prize at the Ysaÿe International Music Competition and the Leonid Kogan International Violin Competition in 2021, as well as the Cooper International Competition in 2022, making her the youngest winner ever.

Born in 2008, Seohyun Kim garnered attention for her extraordinary performance of the Sibelius Concerto at the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Year’s Concert under the baton of Jaap van Zweden in 2025. Other recent performances with orchestras include the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra in Tallinn, Hungary’s Pannon Philharmonic Orchestra at Müpa Budapest, Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, Basque National Youth Orchestra, Canton Symphony Orchestra in Ohio, as well as several Korean orchestras (Korean National Symphony Orchestra, Kumho Young Artist Concert, Seongnam Philharmonic Orchestra, Jeonju Philharmonic Orchestra, Mokpo Philharmonic Orchestra, Daejeon International Music Festival Orchestra, and the Daegu Opera House). In 2026, she will tour with the WDR Sinfonieorchester in Germany and Korea, performing the Brahms Double Concerto alongside Daniel Müller-Schott under the direction of Andris Poga.

Kim is also quite active in the recital and chamber music scene. Recent recitals include her debuts at the Tongyeong International Music Festival, the Gstaad Menuhin Festival, and the Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago. She has played chamber music with Gidon Kremer, Miklós Perényi, and Lawrence Power at the Kronberg Academy’s Chamber Music Connects the World Series and with Julia Fischer at the Tonhalle Zurich. Upcoming chamber music performances include collaborations with Daishin Kashimoto, Alessio Bax, and Clara JumiKang.

Seohyun is currently studying with Sunny Lee at the Seoul Central Conservatory; she plays a 1753 G.B. Guadagnini violin, generously loaned by the Tibor Varga Family. She was also recently named a Larsen Young Artist and is receiving sponsorship for strings.
