Hyung-ki Joo is a British-Korean pianist, composer and performer.

Collaborative ventures lie at the heart of Joo’s approach. As one half of the celebrated musical comedy duo Igudesman & Joo – alongside violinist Aleksey Igudesman – he fuses top-tier classical performance with sharp humour and theatrical flair. But Joo is more than a performer – he’s a champion for music’s accessibility.

His compositions have been commissioned and performed by world-class orchestras and soloists, and his music is published by reputable houses like Universal Edition and Modern Works.

This new album contains original piano works by Hyung-ki Joo: Childhood (an album of 10 pieces), Chandeliers, and Funk Yeah, for piano 4-hands.

This recording also contain the Joo’s arrangements of Billy Joel’s Fantasies and Delusions, as well as Soliloquy, op.1.
