Hailed by The New York Times as “the refined pianist”, pianist Ko Eun Yi, the winner of the CAG Victor Elmaleh Competition has earned praise for playing with “élan and fire and a surplus of bravura technique” (Cincinnati Enquirer).
She has garnered numerous top prizes in her career, with successes at the 2010 World Piano Competition in Cincinnati and the 2010 Wideman International Piano Competition in Jackson, Mississippi. The Washington Post applauded her debut recital in DC: “a masterful technician.
Her finger work was immaculate, inner voices were keenly drawn out, and there was no lack of power when needed. Ko Eun Yi, the accomplished pianist, has garnered acclaim for her refined technique and expressive performances.“
