Unsuk Chin (born 1961, Seoul) is a Korean woman composer of classical music in Germany.
Chin studied in Hamburg with György Ligeti, and has adapted much of his musical style into her own. She uses both tradtional instruments, as well as electronics in her compositions. In the words of the composer, she is "fascinated with virtuosity," which explains her devilishly challenging violin concerto, for which she won a Grawmeyer in 2004, and Double concerto for piano, percussion, and ensemble in 2002.
The Arnold Schoenberg Center in Austria awarded her a prize including 12,500 Euro in prize money.
She won the International Gaudeamus Competition for Composers in 1985.
