Jung Myung-hoon and Clara Jumi Kang's Beethoven Violin Concerto Lecture
On the 28th at Namhansanseong Art Hall and on the 30th at Yesul-ui Jeondang
Jung Myung-whun, a world-renowned conductor representing Korea, will perform Beethoven's only violin concerto together with violinist Clara Jumi Kang.
Conductor Jung Myung-whun will lead the Munich Philharmonic during their Korea tour performances at Namhansanseong Art Hall in Gwangju, Gyeonggi on the 28th, and at the Seoul Arts Center on the 30th. The program includes Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 and the Violin Concerto.
Jung Myung-whun and Jumi Kang already performed Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Munich Philharmonic at the Isar Philharmonie in Munich on the 17th local time.
Through the concert planning agency Vincero, Jumi Kang shared her thoughts on the performance, saying that the entire process from the first rehearsal was incredibly joyful. She said, "Since I was young, I often listened to live recordings of Beethoven symphonies by the Munich Philharmonic conducted by Sergiu Celibidache (Romanian conductor and composer, 1912?1996). The Munich Philharmonic's distinctive sharp yet warm and refined sound is still amazingly audible even after many years, which I find fascinating and wonderful."
The Celibidache mentioned by Jumi Kang served as the principal conductor of the Munich Philharmonic from 1979 to 1996, greatly enhancing the orchestra's reputation. Founded in 1893, the Munich Philharmonic is a prestigious orchestra celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. It premiered Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in 1901 and No. 8 in 1910 worldwide. In 2018, the orchestra toured Korea performing Mahler's Symphony No. 1 "Titan" and Brahms' Symphony No. 1.

Jumi Kang also said, "Performing Beethoven with Maestro Jung Myung-whun is so special that it is hard to put into words. It has been over ten years since I first collaborated with Maestro Jung on Beethoven's Violin Concerto. During that time, I have gone through many interpretations, and now being able to perform this piece again with him is a great fortune and happiness."
