[Concert Introduction] About the CONCERT 100 Minutes of Wonder on Stage, Personally Drawn by Yun-Chan Lim, on a Pilgrimage to Mozart for the 270th Anniversary of His Birth Amidst the flood of performances by renowned international orchestras pouring out throughout the year, a special stage arrives that cannot be seen anywhere else but on that one day. In addition to the complete cycle of Mozart's piano sonatas scheduled for this year at the dream stage of Carnegie Hall, Pianist Yun-Chan Lim presents a special Mozart Concerto Project exclusively in Japan and Korea as an extension of the celebration of the 270th anniversary of Mozart's birth. From the lineup to the program, the performance <Lim Yun-chan & Camerata Salzburg> is a culmination that fully reflects the choices and opinions of the artist, Lim Yun-chan himself. It began with the expectation of what kind of stage the audience would encounter if a platform were opened for him—who is brimming with musical inspiration—to personally plan the event; in other words, it started with the goal of providing a space akin to a "blank canvas" where the artist can now freely express his artistic vision. The program also proclaims itself as "an orchestral performance to Korea planned directly by the artist, supported by a story." As the opening piece, it features an aria by Mozart that is like a hidden gem he has always wanted to present, and which served as the starting point for his conceptualization of the entire program. True to a performance solely of Lim Yun-chan, by Lim Yun-chan, and for Lim Yun-chan, he participates in every piece within the program. Clearly distinct from conventional collaborations, <Yun-Chan Lim & Camerata Salzburg> sets itself apart from the countless annual performances by foreign orchestras in terms of both the physical running time featuring pianist Yun-Chan Lim and its content. Armed with the artist's own brilliant planning and initiative, the performance is set to present a phenomenal 100 minutes to the audience. To support Yun-Chan Lim's musical adventure, Camerata Salzburg—a group of top Mozart specialists based in Salzburg, Austria, the heart of Mozart—is visiting Korea to lend their strength. The fact that this Mozart piece is being presented through the combination of pianist Yun-Chan Lim and this group, who left a deep impression on Korean audiences during their previous visit with their meticulous and sophisticated high-level ensemble, is fueling high expectations for the performance. Furthermore, Sun-Hae Lim, a representative Korean soprano, will join the group for the opening aria "How Could I Forget You," further illuminating the opening of this special project. Conductor Masato Suzuki plays an outstanding mediating role in this collaboration, making his presence felt throughout the scheduled tours in Japan and Korea and adding interpretive stability to the complete Mozart program. As the son of the period music master Masaaki Suzuki, and with Japan and Europe as his primary venues, Masato Suzuki, the principal conductor of the Bach Collegium Japan—Japan's leading period music ensemble—promises close synergy with Yun-chan Lim in realizing Mozart, which requires an exquisite balance of reason and emotion.
