About the Event
Love Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony? Venture into his symphonic treasure from the old world! Dvořák had a knack for crafting compelling melodies, and his Eighth Symphony kicks off with a hymn and concludes with a jubilant celebration. Between these, expect to revel in birdsong, thunder, village bands, and elegant waltzes: folk music transformed into symphonic brilliance, perfectly paired with Smetana’s lively comedy overture. This concert is a radiant affair, glittering with sunlight – and few masterpieces shine as brightly as Beethoven’s spirited First Piano Concerto, especially under the fingers of Sunwook Kim. This pianist and conductor, who gazes beyond mere notes, will lead Beethoven’s concerto from the keyboard, much like the composer in his time.
