MinJung has also collaborated with prestigious orchestras around the world and within the UK, has performed recitals in major venues such as Wigmore Hall, Purcell room, Warwick Arts Centre, Benjamin Britten Theatre, Milton Court, South Hill Park Arts Centre, Barbican Hall and at City of London, Dartington Music and Brighton festivals.
