The Sumi Jo International Singing Competition has been Jo’s dream project for the past four years. “It began with my desire to support young classical singers and provide more opportunities for them.”
Korean tenor Lee Ki-up placed third in the inaugural international singing competition founded by soprano Sumi Jo.
It’s the first time for renowned soprano Sumi Jo to launch a competition in her name. It is also unprecedented for a competition named after a Korean classical musician to be held overseas.
The final rounds are set to take place in March. It welcomes performers in five categories: piano, violin, cello, clarinet, voice and composition.
World-renowned Korean Soprano Sumi Jo was named the recipient of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s Geumgwan (Gold Crown) Order of Cultural Merit, the highest honor among the cultural merit awards, on Friday.
