Mendelssohn Violin Concerto

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is indisputably one of the great Romantic works for violin and orchestra. Hear it performed by Ji Won Kim, TSO’s recently appointed Associate Concertmaster. A graduate of the famed Vienna Hochschule with high distinction, Ji Won has been a prize-winner at numerous international competitions and has performed a soloist across Australia, Asia, the USA and Europe.

On the subject of Australian talent, the concert includes Centrifuge, a new work by composer Holly Harrison, who has worked closely with the TSO in recent years and knows the orchestra inside out.

The concert is bookended by works by Grieg: the delicate Lyric Pieces and the more extrovert Norwegian Dances. Conductor Eivind Aadland has a deep familiarity with the music of fellow Norwegian Grieg and is attuned to its flourishes, nuances and beauties.
