Kim Su-yoen Plays Claude Debussy

Above, an up-and-coming Geramny-based Korean violinist who won fourth place in this year's Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition of Belgium who is profiled in this article — 'Winning isn't everything'.

She was "was born while her father was studying theology in Munster" and "is currently undergoing postgraduate studies at Munich College for Music and Theater." The article says that "she is uncomfortable about ranking musicians as if they were athletes" and "said the process of preparing for a competition is more important than the results." This makes me like her: "Whereas her values differ from young Germans due to the family background she grew up in, Kim said the competitive and hasty Korean lifestyle seems quite different from her own."
