South Korean guitarist Jung Sungha will give a recital March 26 at the Shenzhen Concert Hall.

    Jung specializes in acoustic fingerstyle guitar and his YouTube channel currently has more than 3 million subscribers. He was nicknamed the “Guitar Prodigy” and the “August Rush” in South Korea. His cover of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song, which currently has over 47 million views on YouTube, made Jung an Internet sensation. Jung has received guitar lessons from Hata Shuji, a well-known Japanese jazz guitarist. He has also been mentored by German guitarist Ulli Bogershausen, who Jung refers to as his musical inspiration, and from whom he learned much about composing and arranging.

    Jung released his first album, “Perfect Blue,” in 2010, his second album, “Irony,” in 2011 and his third album “Paint It Acoustic” in 2013. These three were recorded at Ulli Bogershausen’s studio in Germany, each featuring increasingly more originals. Jung’s fourth solo album, “Monologue,” is almost exclusively composed of his own compositions, and was released in 2014. His fifth solo album, “Two of Me” was released in May 2015, entirely consisting of original compositions. He has also recorded an album consisting of guitar duets called “The Duets,” released in 2012.
