19-Year-Old Harvard Pianist: 'Better Than Korean Hagwon Even If It's Hard'? | Pianist Kim Se-hyun | Curtain Call 327

Last spring in Paris, France. A 17-year-old boy won the Long-Thibaud International Piano Competition with a unanimous decision from the judges. He was pianist Kim Se-hyun, who is studying English literature at Harvard and piano at the New England Conservatory. Now, having released his debut album 'Chopin Fauré' and holding a recital in his homeland, Kim Se-hyun is the guest for episode 327 of Curtain Call.

Now 19 years old, Kim Se-hyun has met audiences through numerous performances since his competition victory, including playing on symbolic stages in Paris. We asked him about his busy life as a pianist who balances active performance with studying English literature at Harvard. Pianist Kim Se-hyun shares honest stories in Curtain Call about how he has grown, what kind of future he envisions, what has changed since winning the competition, and what matters most to him.
