Soojin Ahn

"This young Korean-American artist dressed, in a strapless black gown, seemed to meld with the ebony Steinway in a way that seemed impossible. Her intensity produced a kind of concentrated concentration and, at times, there was an almost spiritual quality present."

Chicago Sun-Times

“She played the Schubert with a beautiful, full, velvety quality of tone, a vocal degree of rhythmic freedom, and a real generosity and sweetness of emotion.”

Richard Dyer, Boston Globe

“Ahn is a go-for-it pianist, delighting in highly differentiated dynamics and colors, and is possessed of a strong-rooted sense of rhythm. The second movement’s slow, sad waltz begun by the piano solo showed Ahn’s ability to spin out a long skein of melody, responding to its quirky turnings and controlling its accumulations and releases of tension.”

Susan Larson, Boston Globe

“When she plays, she can take you straight through to Tipperary - or the moon.”
