Recent appearances with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and Michael Sanderling in Switzerland and in Korea once again highlight Jaemin Han as one of the most sought-after young soloists. In the 2026/27 season, he makes a series of debut recitals in several German venues, including Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, with pianist Roman Borisov. In North America, he appears with the Omaha Symphony and returns to La Jolla Music Society as part of a West Coast recital tour with David Fung that also includes performances at The Colburn School in Los Angeles, Stanford Live, and at Vancouver’s Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. He also returns to the Seoul Philharmonic to perform ‘Don Quixote’ under the baton of Hannu Lintu, and reunites with Anna Handler for his debut with the Ulster Orchestra.

In 2022, Han was featured on the ‘Rising Stars’ series on Stage+ with a showcase recital. A selection of works from this recital are available on Deutsche Grammophon’s “Musical Moments” series. His recording of Isang Yun’s Cello Concerto with the Korean National Symphony Orchestra and David Reiland was released by Decca Records in autumn 2024.

Jaemin Han began playing the cello at the age of five and three years later made his orchestral debut. Han is currently studying at the Kronberg Academy under Wolfgang-Emanuel Schmidt, and his previous teachers include Myung-Wha Chung, Kangho Lee, and Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi at the Korea National Institute for the Gifted in Arts. He was a recipient of the 2020 Shinhan Music Award, and is currently supported by a scholarship from the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation. He plays a Domenico Montagnana Cello, Venice, 'Ex Hekking', c.1738-42, generously loaned by the Samsung Foundation of Culture.
