Jiman Wee

A native of South Korea, Jiman displayed extraordinary musical talent from an early age and quickly gained recognition as a prodigy, both nationally and internationally. As a soloist, he has performed extensively across Europe, appearing with ensembles such as the Savaria Symphony Orchestra for their subscription concerts, the North Czech Philharmonic Orchestra as a featured guest for their New Year's concert, the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra, Euro Sinfonietta Wien, Pleven Philharmonic Orchestra, Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, and the South Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. In his home country, he has appeared with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, Korea Chamber Orchestra, Seoul Chamber Ensemble, and USP Chamber Orchestra.

Beyond the concerts, Jiman is a regular guest at major international music festivals, including the Dvořák International Music Festival, Emilia Romagna Festival, Český Krumlov International Music Festival, Festival Musique d'Alpes in France, and the Asago International Music Festival in Japan.

His artistry has been shaped by mentorship with some of the world's greatest violinists. At the Zell am See Music Festival in Austria, he performed Brahms's Violin Concerto in the festival's closing concert under the baton of Maxim Vengerov. His musicianship has been further enriched through his work with Edward Zienkowski, Miriam Fried, Sergey Kravchenko, Ulf Wallin, Zakhar Bron, Min Kim, Dong-Suk Kang, Kyung Wha Chung, and Ik-Hwan Bae.

In 2025, Jiman continued to expand his international career with a concert tour across three German cities with the Vogtland Philharmonic Orchestra Reichenbach, as well as performances at the Great Hall of the Mozarteum in Salzburg and in Madrid, Spain. He also appeared on two of Europe's most prestigious stages, performing Brahms's Violin Concerto with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra at the Berlin Philharmonie and Brahms's Double Concerto with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra at the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein. These engagements further established him as one of the most promising violinists of his generation.
