He garnered attention from the classical music industry for spearheading efforts to take the Orchestra to the next level.

Im Hun-Jeong, who represents Korean classical music and is the symbol of hope, is frequently associated with the words “first.” The Soldier’s Tale by Stravinsky, which he premiered when he was attending Seoul National University’s College of Music, was regarded as a radical approach. Through the “Full Mahler Symphony Performance Series,” which was held from 1999 to 2003, he successfully performed all of Mahler’s symphonies and sparked a “Mahler Syndrome” in the Korean classical music community.

Mr. Im showed great potential as a composer also by winning the 1st place prize for composition at the 14th Dong-A Music Competition.
