Shiyeon Sung – Press

“Holst’s magnificent music of the spheres given an exhilarating interpretation by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Shiyeon Sung”

“Sung’s unassuming presence in her turn at the podium. . . only accentuated the joy of experiencing her astonishing power and artistry”

“a most sensitive musician was at the helm”

“Any sense of ennui on glancing at the conventional programme of Tchaikovsky and Berlioz were soon dispelled as soloist and conductor wrangled a pair of big Romantic beasts and taught them, if not entirely new tricks, then at least reminded us of why they deserve their place at the top of the food chain.”

“music really is about getting in touch with one’s emotions directly”

“Shiyeon has blazed her own path in the classical world”
