Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Fresh Face

South Korean violin prodigy Amadéus Leopold — the artist formerly known as Hahn-Bin — is not your typical classical musician. The incendiary talent redefines the genre’s aesthetic with an over-the-top appearance and elaborate costumes that reflect his love of pop and performance art. However, his visual identity is no gimmick. The avant-garde performer made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 22 after an early graduation from the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, where he studied under the famed Itzhak Perlman. Leopold returns to the Paramount Theatre to play the second installment of “The Renaissance of Classical Music.”
