Synopsis

[Performance Introduction] We present the performance "Bach's Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas & Partitas Meet Dance" in the format of a house concert on stage. This special production showcases the unaccompanied violin works of Johann Sebastian Bach—considered the essence of Baroque music—through a new stage that combines music and dance. ** At the concert, you can enjoy solo performances by three of Korea's representative violinists: Park Jin-soo, who won first prize in the quartet category at the Euterpe International Music Competition in Italy, the International Music Competition Triomphe de l'Art in Belgium, and the Cologne Chamber Music Competition; Kim Da-mi, who won the Hanover Joachim International Violin Competition and swept the Queen Elizabeth Competition and Indianapolis International Violin Competition, as well as second prize (with no first prize awarded) at the Paganini International Competition; and Kim Eung-soo, who won first prize at the Ginetti International Music Competition, Maria Canals International Competition, Piatra Ligure International Competition, and Abbado International Violin Competition, and who successfully completed Mendelssohn and Dvořák concertos after being re-invited following his debut performance at the Berlin Philharmonie Hall. The performance features Bach’s masterpieces, including Sonata No. 1 for Solo Violin and Partitas No. 2 and 3. For each piece, choreographers Geum Bae-seop, Kang Yo-chan, and Seo Yeon-soo collaborate with dancers to present a stage where music and movement harmonize. In particular, it is expected to offer a new harmony between classical music and contemporary dance by expanding Bach’s profound musical world—including Partita No. 2 featuring the ‘Chaconne’—into the language of the body. This performance will be presented in a house concert format, allowing performers and audience members to interact closely on stage, aiming to vividly convey the delicate resonance of Bach’s music. Admission is limited to the first 60 people on a first-come, first-served basis.
