The Classic Icon Beethoven's 'Fate' Takes the Stage in Ulsan

Regular Concert of Ulsan Philharmonic Orchestra on the 25th at Ulsan Culture & Arts Center

Maestro Geum Nosang Conducts, Performing 'Symphony No. 5 Fate'

Violinist Lim Jiyoung Collaborates on 'Mozart No. 4'

The essence of authentic classical music, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, will be performed on the Ulsan stage.

The Ulsan Philharmonic Orchestra announced on the 19th that it will hold its 231st regular concert, "Fate," at 8 p.m. on the 25th at the Ulsan Culture and Arts Center Grand Theater.

At this regular concert presenting classical melodies, Maestro Geum No-sang will serve as guest conductor, and violinist Lim Ji-young will perform as soloist.

Conductor Geum No-sang, collaborating with the Ulsan Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time in four years, has served as artistic director and principal conductor of the Gwangju, Incheon, and Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestras. He is a maestro who has received acclaim in Europe, the birthplace of classical music, conducting top domestic orchestras such as the KBS Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, and Korean Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Rome Symphony Orchestra, North Czech Philharmonic, and Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra.

Mozart's "Violin Concerto No. 4" will be performed by violinist Lim Ji-young. This piece was completed when Mozart was 19 years old and working as the Salzburg court concertmaster. It offers an elegant first movement, a second movement that sings continuously with orchestral accompaniment, and a bold and clear rondo-form third movement.

Violinist Lim Ji-young, who will appear as soloist, attracted global attention by becoming the first Korean and winning unanimously by the judges in the violin category of the Queen Elisabeth Competition, one of the world's top three competitions, in 2015.

In 2021, she was the only classical musician selected as an "Asian Leader Under 30" by Forbes, leading K-classical music with a brilliant career.

The final stage will be adorned by Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, "Fate," a hallmark of classical music widely known to the public.

An official from the Ulsan Municipal Arts Group said, "Maestro Geum No-sang, who raises the status of K-classical music on domestic and international stages, and violinist Lim Ji-young will present an emotional performance together with the Ulsan Philharmonic Orchestra."
