Pianist Jong Hae Park returns to the EBS FM 'Wednesday Guest' after four years. Having gained international attention by winning awards at major global competitions, including being the runner-up at the 2018 Concours Géza Anda, Jong Hae Park will discuss his changes as a musician over the past four years and his recent deep immersion into the musical world of Schubert during this broadcast.

Jong Hae Park is a pianist who unfolds his own interpretations based on lyricism and free expressive power. He has stood out on the international stage from an early stage, winning awards such as the runner-up at the Concours Géza Anda, the youngest 2nd place winner at the Hong Kong International Piano Competition, 2nd place at the Nagoya International Music Competition, the youngest 2nd place winner at the Dublin International Piano Competition, and the Special Prize for the Youngest Performer at the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Since then, he has continued extensive activities performing with major domestic and international orchestras, including the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Belgian National Orchestra, Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra, KBS Symphony Orchestra, and Korean National Symphony Orchestra.

In particular, this broadcast will explore the background of why Jong Hae Park has recently begun to deeply explore Schubert's music. , to be held on October 21 at the IBK Chamber Hall, Seoul Arts Center, is the first time in Jong Hae Park's solo recital history that a stage is composed entirely of works by a single composer. This project, which began in 2025 in collaboration with Credia Classic Club, is inspired by 'Schubertiade'—gatherings where Schubert invited friends and fellow musicians to share his music—and will explore Schubert's musical world over the course of 10 years.

Additionally, the conversation will continue regarding Jong Hae Park's performance style, in which he releases music freely on stage without being bound by the score. Various stories will be shared, including his changing views on performance from childhood to the present, his thoughts on 'Jong Hae Park-style performance,' the sense of the moment when creating improvisational expressions, and the process of expanding his territory as a musician by challenging new projects.

Furthermore, Schubert's music can be heard through Jong Hae Park's live performance during this broadcast. Through three pieces with different characters, including No. 3, in B-flat major Op. 142-3, and in B-flat minor Op. 142-4, listeners can encounter 'Jong Hae Park's Schubert,' which combines free expressive power with delicate musicality.

EBS FM , hosted by baritone Jung Kyung, can be heard every day from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM via EBS FM (104.5MHz for the Seoul metropolitan area), EBS internet radio 'Bandi', and the smartphone application 'Bandi'.
