Violinist Yang In-mo Collaborates with Lucerne Festival Strings

Violin Concerto No. 5 by Bieutang at Lotte Concert Hall

Violinist Yang In-mo will perform with the world-renowned chamber orchestra Lucerne Festival Strings on March 8 at Lotte Concert Hall, collaborating on Viotang's Violin Concerto No. 5.

Yang In-mo is a talented violinist who won the Paganini International Competition in 2015 and the Sibelius International Competition in 2022. He currently resides in Berlin, Germany, studying for a master's degree at the Hanns Eisler School of Music under the tutelage of Antje Weithaas.

The Lucerne Festival Strings is an ensemble founded in 1956 by Wolfgang Schneiderhan, a legend of the Vienna violin, and Rudolf Baumgartner, a Swiss conductor and violinist. As a guest ensemble of the world-famous Lucerne Festival, they have a diverse repertoire ranging from Baroque and Classical music to contemporary works. Since 2012, the Australian-born Swiss violinist Daniel Dodds has served as the artistic director leading the orchestra. The Lucerne Festival Strings were originally scheduled to perform in 2020 but the concert was canceled due to COVID-19.

The Viotang Violin Concerto performed by Yang In-mo and the Lucerne Festival Strings follows the classical form of a violin concerto while incorporating modern elements, offering a unique charm that effectively showcases the violinist's performance skills and technique.

In addition to the collaboration with Yang In-mo, the Lucerne Festival Strings will perform Mozart's Symphony No. 41 "Jupiter" and Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 "Classical." They will also give the Korean premiere of Dubignon's Caprice IV "It Must Be."
