Thanks to her absolutely genuine and natural approach to the instrument, the young South Korean pianist, who was born in 1995, has earned the appreciation of the public and prestigious international juries alike in recent years. Jörg Demus, president of the 60th International Busoni Competition jury, said about her: “I have rediscovered in her a naturalness of musicality that I thought had disappeared.”

Chloe Mun began studying piano at the age of five. She soon decided that she wanted to take her piano career seriously: in fact, she discontinued traditional schooling in order to spend more time at the piano and subsequently graduated on her own. She is currently studying at the Korea National University of Arts.

Considered in Korea to be one of the most talented pianists of her generation, she has performed throughout South Korea and Japan, and also has toured Germany, France, Poland, Italy, England, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Mexico, Peru and Argentina.

Awarded prestigious scholarships from Korean foundations.

She won several competitions including the International Competition for Young Pianists «Artur Rubinstein in memoriam» in Poland (2009) and the Takamatsu International Competition in Japan (2014). In 2012, she won Ettlingen International Youth Music Award Competition in Germany, selected for her “amazing musical imagination, so rich and full for a sixteen-year-old pianist.”

Chloe Mun is the overall winner of the Geneva International Music Competition (unanimously awarded First Prize) and the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition (first Asian pianist to win First Prize since it began in 1949).
