The 2024/25 season opens with an Asia tour with Berliner Barock Solisten and a return to Oulu Symphony Orchestra for its Prokofiev Festival, followed by several important debuts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Tampere Filharmonia, Dresdner Philharmonie, and BBC Philharmonic. He returns to the Seoul Philharmonic under Music Director Jaap van Zweden for a concert in Abu Dhabi and to the Richmond Symphony and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
In previous seasons, Yang appeared with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Zurich Philharmonic Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.
He won first prize at the 2015 Paganini Competition in Genoa, Italy, and the 2022 Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki.
Yang released his second Deutsche Grammophon album, The Genetics of Strings, in 2021. His debut album, Paganini: 24 Caprices, was recorded live as part of his Kumho Art Hall residency and released by DG in 2018.
Inmo Yang studied with Namyoon Kim at the Korea National University of Arts, Miriam Fried at the New England Conservatory of Music, and Antje Weithaas at both Kronberg Academy and Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, where he currently lives.
