Binny Baik

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Binny credits a mix of “curiosity and Korean parents” for prompting him to take up the violin at the age of six. He completed a Bachelor of Music under Yongyun Kim at Seoul National University and later earned a Master of Music from the University of Melbourne, studying with William Hennessy. He has toured Austria with the Seoul Chamber Orchestra and performed in Japan as a full-time member of Korea’s KBS National Symphony Orchestra.

He enjoys performing operas of different eras and advises aspiring musicians to “ask yourself if a career in music is truly what you want. If the answer is yes, then build resilience and prepare to work hard.”
