Lim's 2022 Cliburn win made him the most in-demand pianist of his generation, and his Carnegie recitals have sold out within hours. Hearing him in Stern Auditorium is the definitive way to hear him. Whatever the program, expect a technically fearless, deeply musical evening that classical fans will be comparing notes on for weeks.

What to expect

A roughly two-hour solo recital with intermission; program posted by Carnegie Hall. Expect a packed, young and international audience.

Common questions

Will there be tickets left?

Possibly on the resale market; Carnegie's own inventory for Lim tends to go quickly.

Which hall is it in?

The main Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, not Zankel or Weill.
