KBS Symphony Orchestra's Second Audience Invitation Concert After COVID-19... Soprano Im Sun-hye Collaboration

[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The KBS Symphony Orchestra will hold its second audience-invited concert since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The KBS Symphony Orchestra announced on the 11th that it will perform a special concert titled "Undying Love" at 8 p.m. on the 26th at the Concert Hall of the Seoul Arts Center.

Jung Chiyong, Artistic Director of the Korean Symphony Orchestra, will conduct the performance.

In the first part, Robert Schumann's "Manfred Overture" will be performed, and soprano Lim Sunhye, who recently collaborated with the KBS Symphony Orchestra at the Memorial Day ceremony, will take the stage to perform pieces such as "Wenn der M?dchen Alter f?nfzehn Jahre betr?gt" from Mozart's opera "Cos? fan tutte" and "Lonely friend... gentle breeze" from the opera "Idomeneo." In the second part, Schumann's "Symphony No. 4" will be performed.

Schumann's "Symphony No. 4" is a piece filled with deep affection and love for his wife Clara Schumann, dedicated to her on her 22nd birthday. Although it was the second symphony composed in order, its publication was delayed by 10 years, resulting in it being labeled as "No. 4." The symphony is performed continuously through all four movements without pause, featuring strict formal beauty and an impressive, surging romantic lyricism.

The KBS Symphony Orchestra announced that the concert will be held with social distancing measures between seats.
