Jiman Wee

A native of South Korea, Jiman displayed extraordinary musical talent from an early age and quickly gained recognition as a prodigy, both nationally and internationally. As a soloist, he has performed extensively across Europe, appearing with ensembles such as the Savaria Symphony Orchestra for their subscription concerts, the North Czech Philharmonic Orchestra as a featured guest for their New Year's concert, the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra, Euro Sinfonietta Wien, Pleven Philharmonic Orchestra, Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, and the South Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. In his home country, he has appeared with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, Korea Chamber Orchestra, Seoul Chamber Ensemble, and USP Chamber Orchestra.

Beyond the concerts, Jiman is a regular guest at major international music festivals, including the Dvořák International Music Festival, Emilia Romagna Festival, Český Krumlov International Music Festival, Festival Musique d'Alpes in France, and the Asago International Music Festival in Japan.

His artistry has been shaped by mentorship with some of the world's greatest violinists. He had master classes with Maxim Vengerov at the Zell am See Music Festival in Austria, where he performed Brahms's Violin Concerto in the festival's closing concert under the baton of Vengerov himself. He has also worked in masterclasses with Edward Zienkowski, Miriam Fried, Sergey Kravchenko, Ulf Wallin, Zakhar Bron, Min Kim, Dong-Suk Kang, Kyung Wha Chung, and Ik-Hwan Bae.

Looking ahead, 2025 marks another exciting chapter in Jiman's career. He will embark on a concert tour with the Vogtland Philharmonic Orchestra Reichenbach across three German cities, a performance at the Mozarteum Great Hall in Salzburg, and appear in Madrid, Spain, continuing his journey as one of the most promising violinists of his generation.
