Son participated in the 2023 Rosendal Chamber Music Festival in Norway which featured chamber music of Brahms.

Also the Brahms Piano Trio No. 2 Op. 87 with violinist Ehnes and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, of which a reviewer wrote that "on came the dream team of James Ehnes (violin) Sheku Kanneh-Mason (cello) and Yoel-Eum Son (piano)...It was the best performance in the festival so far." "Son's ravishing solo piano phrases lit up the second movement. The third movement scherzo was lightening fast and tighter than Count Basie's rhythm section! The three musicians could be seen enjoying and appreciating each other's playing more and more as they progressed. It was a very special performance. Five stars!"[36][37] Son also performed the Brahms F-A-E Scherzo for violin and piano with the violinist Svetlin Roussev.[38]
Son gave a recital at the 2023 Edinburgh International Festival performing the Beethoven Hammerklavier Sonata in an acclaimed BBC broadcast concert.[39][40][41]

On 28 October, 2023 Son performed Liszt's Totentanz with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano.[43][10] One critic wrote of Son's achievement with Pappano and the LSO that "...we heard Yeol Eum Son in Liszt's Totentanz. "Tour de force" could equally have been its title, for it makes huge demands on the soloist. It seemed, however, that Yeol Eum Son hardly noticed, so complete was her control over Liszt's taxing variations. It was a superb performance."[44]
Son's debut with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and music director Otto Tausk in the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in November 2023 elicited a review that "her patrician elegance and clean, sharply-chiseled performance were exemplary...very much in the spirit of Mozart's era."[45] Son will perform the two Ravel piano concertos with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Otto Tausk in November 2025.

From 25 to 27 April, 2025 she performed the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 24 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ryan Bancroft. One critic wrote that Son performed with "immaculate technique and just enough crispness to propel things forward. It was a satisfying performance."[50]

Son clearly has an affinity for Mozart. The audience responded enthusiastically with a standing ovation..."[52] Son toured South Korea with the National Arts Centre Orchestra in late May performing the Ravel Piano Concerto in G major, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of formal diplomatic relations between Canada and South Korea.[53]

Recordings
Son's recording in 2016 of the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields was the final recording of Sir Neville and has been widely praised.[57][58] The album was selected by Classic FM as their Classic FM Album of the Week.[59] One critic described it as "full of wit and vitality ... utterly radiant".[60] Son composed her own cadenzas for this concerto. The recording was released on the Onyx label in 2018.[61][62][63]
In February 2023 Son's recordings of the complete Mozart Piano Sonatas were released on the Naive label. These met with enthusiastic critical response and the release was named Classic FM Album of the Week.[64][65]
In May 2025, Son's recording of the two Ravel piano concertos was released, the Piano Concerto in G major and the Left Hand Concerto in D major, with the Residentie Orkest conducted by Anja Bihlmaier.[66] They were described by one music reviewer as "fizzingly captured readings", the central Adagio movement of the G major "a perfect vehicle for Son's tonal purity" and the left-hand D major WWI-related work "is compellingly brought out...it feels almost programmatic."[67]
Performing style
In a very wide repertoire, she is acclaimed in the performance of music from the Classical era (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven) as well as many other composers such as Schumann, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Gershwin, Bartók, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and recent composers.
Her performance style is characterized by sustained, extended and even-toned melodic lines, by clarity of texture, and by expressive authenticity. In the Classical era works, her performances display extreme accuracy and brilliance of execution.
Son's performances of the Classical period works composed by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven require clarity and flawless execution. She states that "I love Mozart and Beethoven, but I need lots of control for them as I’m extremely exposed. I get much more nervous when I’m playing those composers on stage, too.”[68] Many pianists avoid the Mozart and Beethoven concertos due to the clarity required which makes any performance errors obvious. In the piano works of the later Romantic and modern periods, pedaling can create a musical haze which obscures errors in execution. Son's live Mozart performances, such as her appearances of 2025 in the Piano Concerto No. 24 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and No. 22 with the National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa, have been acclaimed as free of any flaw or technical errors.
Music director
Son held the position of Artistic Director of Music in PyeongChang, one of South Korea's largest classical music festivals, from 2018 to 2022. She was acclaimed for her creative and innovative programming and Son engaged many renowned solo musicians from around the world to participate in the festival.
Son had been and continued to be a frequent performer at the festival, including in such works as the Brahms Piano Quartet in C minor,[69] the Rachmaninoff Cello and Piano Sonata in G minor Op. 19,[70] the Ravel Piano Trio,[71] the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 22, performing her own cadenzas,[72][73] and the Bartók Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion.[74]
Writing career
Beginning May 2010, she wrote a monthly column for JoongAng Sunday, the Sunday edition of JoongAng Ilbo, one of Korea's most widely read newspapers.[75] This was compiled as a book in 2015.[76]

On 20 May 2024, Son was awarded the Grand Prize of the Daewon Music Awards for 2024.[77] The Daewon Awards recognize outstanding levels of achievement in the performing arts for classical music in South Korea.
