Stradivarius violin talks to you | Inmo Yang | TEDxBeaconStreet

A multi-million dollar Stradivarius violin doesn’t offer beautiful sound right away. At least not until the virtuoso violinist gets to know the instrument. Here, 24-year-old violinist Inmo Yang talks about his experience with the “Joachim Ma” violin made in 1714 by the world-renowned Italian violin maker Antonio Stradivari (Cremona, 1644-1737).


Listen to this brilliant musician tell you his amazing personal journey from how the sound of this violin was a mere scratch at first, then how the violin demanded to be played with delicacy on his D string, to finally how the Stradivarius can predict tomorrow’s weather just by listening attentively to its sound.

In March 2015, Inmo won the 54th International Violin Competition “Premio Paganini” in Genoa, Italy, marking the first time since 2006 that the Paganini Competition jury awarded First Prize, confirming The Violin Channel’s praise of Inmo as “one of the new generation’s most talented young string virtuosi.” Inmo gave a performance of Paganini’s 24 caprices, recorded live and released under the Deutsche Grammophon label in November 2018.


Inmo Yang has been hailed by the Boston Globe for his “seamless technique and a tender warmth of tone,” combined with "an ability to project an engaging sense of inner sincerity through his playing.”
