成沶妍Shi-Yeon Sung

來自南韓的指揮家成沶妍有著渾然天成的氣勢，善於創造溫暖鼓舞人心的練習氛圍，能精準抓住理性與感性之間的微妙分野。她從2014年1月開始擔任南韓京畿道愛樂的首席指揮，2015年夏季帶領該樂團首度前往歐洲巡演，足跡遍及柏林愛樂廳、威斯巴登，以及薩爾音樂節等。不久之後她便前往美國的沃夫卓布音樂節指揮華盛頓國家交響樂團，演出貝多芬與布魯赫的作品。
詹姆斯‧李汶於2007年指派成沶妍擔任波士頓交響樂團的助理指揮，當時她就被全球音樂界譽為實力堅強的明日之星。在那之前，她就在蕭提國際指揮大賽與邦貝格馬勒指揮大賽中勝出。她在波士頓三年的任期中開始與首爾愛樂密切合作，並指揮他們2007年的樂季開幕音樂會。2009年時，首爾愛樂特別為了她設立副指揮一職，成沶妍直到2013年才卸下該職。
成沶妍曾與眾多知名樂團合作，例如來自歐洲的鹿特丹愛樂、法國廣播愛樂、瑞典廣播交響樂團、史塔凡傑交響樂團、柏林音樂廳管弦樂團，以及邦貝格交響樂團，此外她還在韓國統營國際音樂節首度登場指揮洛杉磯愛樂，與鋼琴大師阿格麗希合作演出。2010年6月，在布宜諾斯艾利斯哥倫布劇院重新開放之後，成沶妍便指揮了一場極為成功的音樂會，阿根廷媒體大幅讚揚這位年輕指揮家「如大師般的指揮能力」。另外，她也在斯德哥爾摩歌劇院指揮克里斯托夫‧維利巴爾德‧葛路克的《奧菲歐與尤里狄絲》等歌劇。
出生於南韓釜山的成沶妍，一出道便以鋼琴家之姿贏得眾多青年音樂家比賽，之後從2001到2006年開始學習指揮，她負笈前往柏林漢斯艾斯勒音樂學院師事魯特，之後更到斯德哥爾摩皇家音樂學院師從帕努拉，學習進階指揮課程。

The South Korean conductor Shiyeon Sung is characterised by a natural authority, a collegial and inspiring rehearsal approach and the ability to find the right nuance on the fine line between passion and ratio. With the Gyeonggi Philharmonic Orchestra, whose chief conductor she has been since January 2014, she went on tour in Europe for the first time in the summer of 2015. Together, they appeared at the Philharmonie Berlin, in Wiesbaden and at the Musik Festival Saar amongst others. Shortly afterwards, she conducted the National Symphony Orchestra Washington at the Wolf Trap Festival in a programme of works by Beethoven and Bruch.
When James Levine appointed her as his Assistant Conductor at the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2007, she already had a reputation as one of the most exciting emerging talents on the international music circuit: shortly before, Shiyeon Sung had won the International Conductors‘ Competition Sir  Georg Solti and the Gustav Mahler Conductors‘ Competition in Bamberg. During her three-year tenure in Boston, she began a close collaboration with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted their season opening concert in 2007. In 2009, the orchestra established an Associate Conductor’s position especially for her, which she held until 2013.
In the meantime, the list of orchestras with whom Shiyeon Sung has worked is remarkable. Renowned European orchestras such as the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, Konzerthaus Orchestra Berlin and the Bamberg Symphony are included as well as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which she led in a spectacular debut concert with Martha Argerich at the Tongyeong International Music Festival. In June 2010, Shiyeon Sung conducted a highly successful concert right after the re-opening of the legendary Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. The Argentinian press enthusiastically praised the young conductor’s “virtuoso ability”. At the Stockholm Opera, she conducted Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orpheus und Eurydike amongst others.
Born in Pusan, South Korea, Shiyeon Sung won various prizes as a pianist in youth competitions. From 2001 to 2006, she studied orchestral conducting with Rolf Reuter at the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin and continued her education with advanced conducting studies with Jorma Panula at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
