[2025 Weiwuying International Music Festival] Opening Concert: Love Stories and Fairy Tales
Beginning in the 19th century, Shakespeare fever swept across Russia as Alexander PUSHKIN explored the former's techniques and politics. One of TCHAIKOVSKY's greatest pieces is Romeo and Juliet Fantasia Overture, with a lyrical period at the start to create emotional depth. The second half keeps focusing on love with ZEMLINSKY's Die Seejungfrau, written during heartbreak based on the folk tale The Little Mermaid. Through post-Romantic sound, it sublimely portrays how two souls meet, fall in love, and are separated for life.
Between these will be SZYMANOWSKI's Violin Concerto. Inspired by a five-verse poem of T. MICIŃSKI's, it captures the poem's ecstasy and fear and gives a peek directly into the heart within a single movement and five periods.

His other recording projects include Vienna Radio Symphony, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.
Violin｜Inmo YANG
South Korean violinist Inmo YANG's beguiling sound is imbued with poetry and underpinned by unwavering technical prowess which quickly brought him to some of the most prestigious stages in the world including New York Philharmonic and the LA Phil in the upcoming season and Orchestre National de France, BBC Symphony Orchestra, and Carnegie Hall in the previous seasons.
The 24/25 season opens with Asia tour with Berliner Barock Solisten and a return to Oulu Symphony Orchestra for their PROKOFIEV Festival, followed by several important debuts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Tampere Philharmonia, Dresdner Philharmonie, and BBC Philharmonic. He also returns to Seoul Philharmonic under their chief conductor Jaap VAN ZWEDEN for a concert in Abu Dhabi, Richmond Symphony, and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande before they embark on a tour to Korea at the end of the season.
He is the first prize winner of both the 2015 International Violin Competition 'Premio Paganini' in Genoa, Italy, and the 2022 Jean Sibelius Violin Competition. It was the first time since 2006 that the Paganini Competition jury awarded First Prize and Fabio LUISI, the chair of the jury at the time, commented: "Inmo is an intuitive musician. His Paganini is captivating and exquisite."
