Mendelssohn Violin Concerto
Sibelius Symphony No.5
Cristian Măcelaru Conductor
Bomsori Kim Violin
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates Cadogan Hall’s 20th anniversary
GRAMMY-award-winning conductor Cristian Măcelaru takes to the Cadogan Hall stage to conduct South Korean violin sensation, Bomsori Kim. Kim, who ‘wowed’ the Proms audience in 2023 (The Times), will play Mendelssohn’s exquisite Violin Concerto in a rare London appearance. Full of ravishing, flowing melodies, it is easy to see why this piece is a favourite of audiences across the world. As a precursor, young composer Oana Vardianu’s piece Genesis, written for Măcelaru and the Romanian Chamber Orchestra, charts the evolution of music itself from folkloric tradition passed through the generations to its myriad and ever-changing forms in the present day.
In the second half of the concert, Măcelaru and the Orchestra will perform Sibelius’ Symphony No.5, filled with vivid musical depictions of the natural world, from the earth to swans flying through the air. As Sibelius himself wrote in his diary while he was composing the symphony, "the melodies are divine!!"
