IMG Artists are cock-a-hoop at signing Yunchan Lim, sensational winner of the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

Yunchan, 18, said: ‘I’m very excited and delighted to be joining IMG Artists. I will now be represented globally, and I am looking forward to sharing my music making with the greatest audiences in the most renowned concert halls.’

He will be managed from London by Nicholas Mathias and Federico Benigni, in conjunction with MOC Production for Asia.

    “Cock-a-hoop” is……happy??? Please translate for us Yanks, Norman.

    • Shut that door says:

      “I’m Cock-a-Hoop” was a favourite catchphrase of a British comedian by the name of Larry Grayson.

  • Facts says:

    The same agency that took on Jeneba & Isata Kanneh-Mason before Yunchan Lim …

    • Check your facts, Facts says:

      They’re not exactly the same agency. The Kanneh-Mason sisters are managed by Enticott Music Management. EMM’s artists are under the umbrella of IMG Artists, but Yunchan Lim has nothing to do with EMM. They have completely different managers.
