Classical musicians from Korea performed in Poland, one of the many homes of classical music, deeply moving the audience.
On March 25, violinist Baek Ju-young and the Korean Chamber Orchestra were invited to perform at the Ludwig van Beethoven Easter Festival in Warsaw, attracting many classical music fans.
The festival started in Krakow, Poland, in 1997 to celebrate the 170th anniversary of Beethoven's death. This year is its 19th iteration and it is one of the best classical music festivals in Poland.
During the concert, they performed Franz Schubert's Overture in C Minor, Shostakovich's Prelude and Scherzo Op. 11 D, Karl Amadeus Hartmann 's Concerto Funebre for Violin and Beethoven 's String Quartet No.7 in F Major. The audience was quite enthusiastic, asking for three encores. Baek and the orchestra performed "The Last Rose of Summer," the "Pizzicato Polka" and "Gyeongbokgung Arirang" for their encores.
Professor Stanisław Skoczyński of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music also performed at the concert.
"Violinist Baek Ju-young's performance was great, and her interpretation and delivery of the music were also amazing," said Skoczyński. "Her performance of Beethoven 's String Quartet No.7 in F Major was gentle but forceful, and it was an extremely 'Koreanperformance," he said.
