Cho sells out halls from Seoul to Berlin, and Carnegie's main stage is where New York hears him at full scale. His recitals pair rigorous programming with a huge, devoted fan base, so the room has real energy. For a Friday night in March it is a reliably world-class two hours. His Carnegie appearances have sold out in past seasons, so this is a book-early night rather than a walk-up one.
What to expect
A roughly two-hour solo recital with one intermission; program posted on Carnegie's site. Expect a young, enthusiastic crowd and possible encores.
