Unsuk Chin

Unsuk Chin is a South Korean composer of contemporary classical music, born in Seoul in 1961, who studied composition in South Korea before continuing her studies and beginning her international career in Germany in the 1980s. Her music blends modernist and spectral techniques with vivid orchestral colour and occasional electronics, and her catalogue includes opera, orchestral, chamber and solo works that chart a progression from academic roots to an internationally focused contemporary idiom.
