🎻 | Violist from Korea 🎵 | Maker of @classicalmusicmatters 🎓 | Alumni of @karajanakademie 📍 | Based in Frankfurt🇩🇪
  • Grateful for the opportunity to perform Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante (with a twist!!) with the @staatsorchesterhamburg Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg. Sharing the stage with my wonderful colleagues and bringing this music into life in the @elbphilharmonie is something I cannot wait!

It will be a world-premiere for the 2nd and 3rd movement of the Sinfonia Concertante which are a re-writing based on Mozart’s music by Sally Beamish. Making this well-known piece a contemporary.

I cannot thank enough to my colleagues and the board of the orchestra to make this happen! Thank you and see you there!😉

  • Memories from July!
I really wanted to share this video long ago but had to keep it to myself since it was for Geneva. But finally it has done its job and happy to share it!

One of my favorite pieces for the classical viola literature…

🎼J.N. Hummel: Viola Sonata in E-flat, Op.5 No.3
I. Allegro moderato

Thank you @tonmeister_joshua.yw.park for the amazing recording and @manaoguchi for playing amazingly as always! Such a wonderful memory!
