Jun MÄRKL, Aylen PRITCHIN & NSO
The history of music has produced numerous pieces that were not well-received upon their premieres but later, tempered by time, became classics. 20th-century Austrian composer KORNGOLD's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35, is one such example. The melody, smooth as silk, and heart-touching sentiment manifest the magnetic charm of its composer, one of Hollywood's greatest incidental music writers.
BARTÓK's music has a modern exterior but pulses with folk style. His resplendent Concerto for Orchestra, Sz. 116, which debuted in 1943, brims with fun. The tightly knit interaction among the different orchestral parts creates a surging effect that is both touching and deeply exciting.
Jun MÄRKL, Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra, is teaming up with globally acclaimed violinist Aylen PRITCHIN, bringing a brilliant Eastern European music feast!
